[CLUE-Tech] my beloved pine and pico

Have you tried installing them your self?  Just because it doesn't come in
the Distro doesn't mean you can't keep using it.

I'm trying to use Fedora Core 1 today... and I'm very disappointed to 
see that Pine was dropped from the release due to some kind of license 
dispute. (I swear, if all the liceneses would just get along, linux 
would be sooo much better!) Anyhoo, I now would like to find a 
replacement for both command line email and my text editor.  Pico was 
great - I learned it 11 years ago on Solaris, and I never looked back. 
I know of emacs and vi, but vi seems hard to use for me.  Without 
starting a flame war, can someone please let me know which email client 
and text editors you think are the best... and most likely to not get 
dropped from a future Red Hat / Fedora release?  Thanks.
