You need to fix syntax error somehow, TERMCAP_WINS is essential. Pine have
homemade set of weak guesses about terminal capabilities; with
TERMCAP_WINS defined, termcap taken first, then weak gueesses, otherwise
guesses taken first over termcap making Pine broken.

Is it possible to catch errors with BACKGROUND_POST?

${PREFIX}/lib/news/inews I think

It is essential too, Pine tries to avoid sending Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
text in several places without any reason. Looks like this soft is too
historic from one side, but from other side it likes evilly converts 8bit
text to QP or BASE64 (without a command to do so) making it non-readable.

Just move it to another free place outside 040-0377 range for a while.
I already sent this patch to Pine people but they not seems be interested.

You need -DTERMCAP_WINS to make it work for you.

ispell works differently, pico assume standard Unix spell.
Undefining SPELLER is not right thing to do, because it breaks alternative
speller in Pine mode, as I remember.
