This is not exactly what you are looking for but it may help.  (This
is from the section on environment variables in the "rn" man page.)


     PAGESTOP
             If defined, contains a regular expression which
             matches article lines to be treated as form-feeds.
             There are at least two things you might want to do
             with this.  To cause page breaks between articles in
             a digest, you might define it as "^--------".  To
             force a page break before a signature, you could
             define it as "^-- $".  (Then, when you see "--" at
             the bottom of the page, you can skip the signature
             if you so desire by typing 'n' instead of space.) To
             do both, you could use "^--".  If you want to break
             on more than one pattern, you can use "|" to
             separate the alternatives.

             There is some overhead involved in matching each
             line of the article against a regular expression.
             You might wish to use a baud-rate modifier to enable
             this feature only at low baud rates.

             Default: undefined
