Junk "Microsoft" emails - Possible Partial Solution - Is There a Pine Expert Out There?

[Mike Thomas]

Like a lot of people on these forums, I've been bombarded with virused /
junk email from "Microsoft" , "MS" etc.

I can telnet to my www provider and use Pine set up a rule to delete all
emails where the sender is "Microsoft", and this would help a lot.

The problem is the "Deleting" is not the same in Pine as "Expunging", so, in
the end, my Outlook winds up downloading the Deleted messages. The tech
support there does not have an answer for this one.

Is there a way in Pine to set up a rule to "Expunge" rather than "Delete" a
message according to a filter?

Thanks
Mike Thomas

Have you tried a group that is familiar with Pine? I don't think many
people here would be users since most of us (except for the stray OE user)
use Outlook.
