Why in the world is pico considered important? It's hardly a default
Unix editor, and it's got several asocial tendencies (word wrap always
enabled being one).

Well, I'm actually the maintainer now.

Easy enough to fix...

Frankly, I don't think either one should recommend the other---they're
totally self-contained, with pico "just happening" to be identical to
the editor built into pine. I think it's silly for an editor (even
emacs, frankly) to recommend a mailer, and equally silly for a mailer
to recommend an editor that's identical to one it has built in.
Unless someone has a reason otherwise, I'll just erase all references
between the two when I release a new version, as well as correcting
the description length.
Mike.
