I don't care much about pico (as I use vim to as the editor in pine), but pine is essential. No, Mutt is not an option for me. And no, just because I use Thunderbird for my personal mail does not mean it would be an option either. Back when I was still the maintainer of Pine on SUSE Linux, I actually approached the University of Washington about this - SUSE has an explicit and written approval to distribute pine/pico as part of their distribution. If required, I can dig around in my old mail folders about it, but SUSE should have a copy of this agreement, too.
