Problem:
I have accounts on two machines, but would like e-mail to be sent to one machine. I know about aliases, but would like to set up a fowarding address in Pine or in Unix. How can I do this?

Solution:
In Pine, as with most Unix-based mail packages, set the forwarding address by creating (or modifying) a file called .forward. This can be done with a Unix editor. With the Pico editor, the command would be:

pico .forward

The contents of the file .forward should be the full e-mail address to which you would like your mail to be forwarded.
