You can search the archives to find a link to the deb. There
are licensing issues with pine so Debian doesn't include it but
there are people who have built the debs. I just snagged the
latest stable release (source) from the pine web site. I had to
install a library or two but it was no big deal. Compiled just
fine. You might want to try mutt. I like it a lot better. It
took some configuring but it isn't as clunky as pine.
