        You can search the archives to find a link to the deb.  There
        are licensing issues with pine so Debian doesn't include it but
        there are people who have built the debs.  I just snagged the
        latest stable release (source) from the pine web site.  I had to
        install a library or two but it was no big deal.  Compiled just
        fine.  You might want to try mutt.  I like it a lot better.  It
        took some configuring but it isn't as clunky as pine.
