pine supports profiles, so you can have multiple from's and switch between
them.

in pine you can postpone messages and go read/edit other messages.. whatever
you want. you can have as many postponed messages as you want, there all
kept in a seperate folder.

uhmm.. pine uses a customised pico. you can probably replace it, but why
would you want to (and esp. with something as decrepid as vi! :) )

open the message, arrow right or > to get a list of attachments. select one
you want, click return and if it's in mailcap appropriate command is
