Does Pine offer the option of having mail forwarded to another e-mail
address?

Your question is slightly ambiguous.

If you mean "Having received a message, can I forward a copy on to someone
else?" then the answer is "Yes, use the 'F' (Forward) command".

However...

If you mean "Can Pine automatically redirect arriving mail to some other
e-mail address instead?" then the answer is "No, this is not a function of
Pine or any other mail *reader*.  Instead you have to persuade the mail
*delivery* software used by your computer system to redirect the mail as
it arrives.  This is _probably_ done by creating a file called '.forward'
in your home directory containing the destination e-mail address.  Check
with your local Help Desk for information."

Cheers,
