use procmail, which should already be installed.
My .procmailrc file looks a bit like this in places:
---- begin
###
### procmailrc
### mail filtering rules
###
MAILDIR=/home/dave/.filter
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
### redhat-{}
:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List: <[^@]*@redhat.com>
* ^X-Mailing-List: <\/[^@]*
linux/$MATCH
---- end
now, pine is set up to look at /home/dave/.filter/linux as a folder group
specifically with this portion of .pinerc
--- begin
# List of directories where saved-message folders may be. First one is
# the default for Saves. Example: Main {host1}mail/[], Desktop mail\[]
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-hostname}optnl-directory-path[]
folder-collections=mail/[],
.filter/linux/[]
--- end
Note, these are not 'incoming' folders so you can't tab between them.
The procmail recipe will handle pretty much any redhat-<something> list
and save it in it's own folder. Note the first check looks for the entire
X-MailingList line, INCLUDING the hostname to be sure we've got the right
mail, then the second one subsequently looks for a reduced portion of the
above so that $MATCH will contain only 'redhat-list', 'redhat-announce' or
whatever.
