I used pico and pine sometime back but dont use it now... both of these UW software are non-free software...

I use mutt and emacs .... I've binded emacs with mutt so all the mail composing is done by emacs. MUTT is as featureful (actually more !!!) as pine.

ps: many people love PICO, so there's also a pico clone called nano , its a free software and all the key bindings of pico are same and its interface and key shortcuts are almost the same...

Mutt is rocking specially in case of using it with GPG :)

mutt is GPL and better than PINE... I can mail my .muttrc file to anyone wishing to migrate to mutt. I am using familiar key bindings in muttrc so switching to mutt would not be a problem.

On most remote server pine is friend. Otherwise webmail always ;)
