Right. But if you're a long-term pine user, you're likely still using it
because you're deeply used to the keystrokes (which are different in cone).
If you're going to bother to learn new keystrokes, you might as well just go
for mutt which is:

0. already in the distro, and widely found elsewhere
1. easier to build elsewhere, if it's not already there
2. smaller
3. more stable

cone's a good choice for people needing an easy-to-pickup text MUA to start 
with....
