         OPTION: Read-Message-Folder

By virtue of specifying a folder name here, Pine will be configured to
save all messages which you have read during a session into the designated
"read messages" folder.  This allows you to more easily distinguish
between your really new email (in your INBOX) and those which you have
already read.  Depending on how you define the "auto-move-read-messages"
setting in the "feature-list", you may or may not be asked when you quit
Pine if you want read messages to be moved to this folder.  In either
case, moving the messages means they will be deleted from your INBOX.
