You can redefine your pager:

	set oldpager = "$pager" pager = 'tail +2'
	pick -s 'backup done' | p | d
	set pager = "$oldpager"
	unset oldpager

Each message is sent individually to $pager, so you get the effect you want.

Compare to the "pipe" command, with attention to the way it works when you
have used "set unix".
