Use procmail to deliver your mailing-list mail (and other recognisable mail, if you want) to different mailboxes. You can find links on how to do this at http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/users/reriksso/procmail/links.html Then set up pine to recognise more than one inbox. However, mutt does a much better job of this (at the expense of requiring more initial configuration tweaking). Rahul.
