FYI, the last several versions of Pine have an option to switch to an
alternate editor of choice, either on the fly while in the pico editor, or
as implicitly as an alternate to pico; so one is not forced to use pico if
that person prefers some other editor.  One thing I do like about pico is
the ease with which it reformats paragraphs.
