The only mail program I can use in terminal mode with
my ISP is PINE.
I despise it, especially the fewkin editor, PICO, (sumbitch won't let
me use vi to edit messages). I'm scheduled to get a cablemodem
installed in three weeks, when _I_ start making those decisions (and
maybe get a decent newsfeed -- an even bigger gripe I've got with my
ISP). (Hell, even with Tandy Xenix 15+ years ago, I could set my
editor for mail's ~v command -- never had to, since vi was my
preferred editor then and now).

Geez... just create a pinerc with vi in it.
Hell, compile your own mail reader.
What's the shell account have in it. What architecture.
I'll compile you something and mail it to you.
