Since we're waaay out of topic, here's what made me gasp in surprise
when I tried to see how pine compares to other large programs in my
/usr/local/bin directory.

Interestingly enough, Pine is closer to XEmacs in size than Mutt:
hades # ls -l /usr/local/bin/{mutt,xemacs-*}
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 370096 Oct 9 05:47 /usr/local/bin/mutt*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3275208 Oct 16 05:17 /usr/local/bin/xemacs-21.1-p2*
Ahem, at least XEmacs has a nice X11 interface. And yes, it's been
stripped too.
