 Actually, it does. PL25 ME39 (which comes in the Debian dist, ask me for the
...
  tarball) supports in-process attachments and PGP. And
PL25, which is
 commonly available, supports MIME through metamail. 
I've had almost zero exposure to elm, so I'm not in much of a position to
comment -- not that that always stops me :-)

I'd guess elm (which is what pine was originally based on) is smaller,
sleeker, and simpler.  Not a bad thing...
