I am amazed that everybody forgot about the nifty feature in pine 3.92 or 
later.  It is called download command.  If you go into setup/config and 
see this option, you can set it to the name of a file transfering 
program.  So, if you wanted to be able to download files straight from 
pine without exiting and you have zmodem, define a "download command" of 
"sz -a."  No period.  Now when you press e to export a message, you will 
be able to press control-V to download straight to your PC.  The only 
draw-back is that the file gets a stupid temporary name.  If you are 
really good, you can also define an upload command too.  If you are going 
to try that, bee sure and read the help text on it because it isn't 
nearly as easy.
