The .forward file in Unix is actually not part of PINE.  PINE is just a
mail reader, it doesn't actually process or deliver any of the mail (I
think).  SENDMAIL is actually the program that delivers (and forwards) mail
on a Unix system.
 
MIAVX1 doesn't run SENDMAIL.  Instead we use the native mail delivery
system that comes with OpenVMS (plus a few extra programs like PMDF and
Jnet to help us deliver to non-Dec networks like TCP/IP and BITNET).
Therefore, you need to tell VMS to forward your mail, not PINE.  You can do
this as follows:
  $ MAIL
  EMAIL> SET FORWARD [log in to unmask]
  EMAIL> EXIT
  $
