To create filters in Pine, begin at the Main Menu. Then
type:
- s for setup
- r for rules
- f for filters
- a to add a filter
For the Nickname field, enter a discriptive name
for this filter, such as 'debt' or 'bamboo furniture'.
Move up and down with your arrow keys until you have highlighted
the field that can distinguish this piece of spam from
legitimate email. This is usually the From pattern
or the Subject pattern. Hit 'A' to add a value or
'C' to change the value. When you've entered a value that
matches your spam (like 'From pattern = spammaker@hotmail.com'
or 'Subject pattern = DEBT'), you're ready to specify your
filter action.
Move down to "Filter Action =" and change the
value to 'Delete'. (You can do that by typing a
* when 'Delete is highlighted.) Then hit E (for exit setup),
and hit Y to committ your changes. You'll then see a list
of your filters, and you can edit one by highlighting it
and pressing Enter.
