I am not sure if this can be done by Pine, but I think you can create 
some work-arounds under Unix.

For example, you can implement a scheme to automatically encrypt the
sent-mail after you quit Pine, and decrypt it before Pine is launched.
You have to keep your secret key secure though.  Any automatic scheme
has some holes  ... :-)

Just my 2c.
