Comes here Mr/Mz. nefarious hoyden with this opinion in  "comp.mail.pine" group in this article on Fri, 09 Dec 1994 11:44:51 -0600:

 +   is there an easy way to transfer an entire mail folder onto a disk or hard
 +   drive?

Pine saves mail in a mail folder which is nothing but a regular text file.
You can cd into the mail dir. and then can download these files themselves
and can be viewed by any PC/Mac text editor.

 +   how do i access the newsgroups through pine?  do you prefer it to nn?

In the (M)ain/(S)etup/(C)onfig screen set the nntp-server option to the 
newsserver's address at your site. Try reading the Release Notes which
gives you an in-depth info on this.
