I'll just like to mention that you'll need ver 3.0 of pine or higher (correct me 
if I'm wrong) to get MIME support.
Pine can also be downloaded from nic.funet.fi /pub/unix/mail/pine where you also 
can get metamail in directory /pub/unix/mail/metamail 

Another mailer which is interesting is elm 2.4 which also has MIME support.
You can find the latest version of elm at nic.funet.fi in /pub/unix/mail/elm.

nic.funet.fi is also available through a mailserver at address 
mailserver@nic.funet.fi

Unfortunaltely these mailers have just some support for MIME,
but I suppose there will be better MIME support in the nearest future.

Included in the metamail package there is also a file describing how to make
some of the most popular mailers somewhat MIME compatible.
