   Can you tell us what specific lines you have to add? I don't quite understand 
   what are you trying to say here...

Hi,
   Filtering mail in pine is a two step process.  First you have to
use a filter program such as elm filter or procmail (both of these
filtering programs can be used with any mailer).  In the case of the
elm filter program, you have to create .elm directory with a
filter-rules file.  You also have to create a .forward file in your
home directory. Then, once you have that, then you only need edit the
incoming-folders variable in your .pinerc file.  I.e., if you filtered
all incoming mail from Bob Smith to your ~/mail/Bob_stuff folder, you
would edit the incoming-folders line to read:

incoming-folders=~/mail/Bob_stuff

  If you have more than one incoming folder (I.e., AnotherFolder and
LastFolder), you would edit the line to read:

incoming-folders=~/mail/Bob_stuff,
	~/mail/AnotherFolder,
        ~/mail/LastFolder

For more information, type: man filter  
                                            -Melanie
