Pico, or its gnu clone nano, is actually pretty good as a mail editor
called by, say, mutt, because its default behaviors just work well for
that purpose.  I use it for anything else only as a fallback if xcoral
is unavailable.  My last resort is vi, and it's "last resort only"
because it's so goddamn painful to use.
