I thought the problem was that pine (the mail program) had been removed

pico is an editor that is part of the pine package and licensed with the
same license.

And just to repeat what was already said, GNU nano is a pico clone. All of the key combinations that you are used to in pico should work in nano. Plus, there are a few additional features like 'Search and Replace' in nano which I don't think pico has.

Also, in pico you need to explictly turn on the useful options via the command-line. Why they have you do this I don't know. Again, they are probably afraid of their users, which is the same excuse we hear as to why they don't allow patched binaries.
