I am not 100% sure what you mean by this.  pine is a 'command line'
program, but it is run through different screens and whatnot.

I'm guessing you mean can you automatically send a message using pine in a
manner such as this:

cat file | pine -s "The Subject" [email-masked]

or

pine -s "The Subject" -b File_with_the_message.txt [email-masked]

The answer to that is no.

If you want to send files via MIME from the commandline, checkout 'mpack'
(a search in Lycos should point you to it, http://www.lycos.com)
