Pine is basically dead, partly because of licensing/trademark problems 
with the University of Washington, and partly due to waning interest 
from that same group.  (Cite: http://goo.gl/SkfCef)

Alpine was created to solve those problems, though it went through about 
4 years of no releases, too.  Alpine development restarted last year: 
http://patches.freeiz.com/alpine/release/

Another fork is re-alpine: http://sourceforge.net/projects/re-alpine/

Someone who cares about a pine-like mail reader should start packaging 
one of these two for Cygwin.

(Not me.  I rarely use pine/alpine, and then only to read cron 
complaints in mbox format on systems without a real SMTP setup.  Even 
then, I probably use mailx more often.)
