I originally switched to Mutt because it threads discussions
properly.  Pine didn't at the time, although I'm sure it must by
now...

PGP things that Pine still doesn't seem to understand, and that Mutt
does:

* S/MIME
* Encrypts attachments too! (in fact, Pine sometimes has trouble even
  encrypting the bodies of messages with attachments)
* Message body search knows how to decrypt messages on the fly
* Can do detached signatures, etc...

Thing Mutt doesn't do well, that I'd like it to:

* Encrypt automatically if every recipient has a valid key in the
  keyring

I have a few friends who try to use encryption with Pine.  It doesn't
ever seem entirely happy, even with every hack that I know about,
including procmail hacks on my end as well.  Switching to Mutt is
trivial...  you won't regret it!
