There's the problem, Les !! -- the pine (now, alpine) editor, pico, does not work that way. Fortunately, [al]pine will honor an EDITOR environment variable for those preferring a different editor, so one can go nuts, and even, say, use emacs.
I love alpine. It works with UTF-8 so you can read spam in the original Hebrew or Chinese, but it's text-only so you avoid NSFW images. You get foreign language practice in an HR-acceptable manner. Woohoo!
