I pre-read email with Pine, then only download the ones I need to keep
    into Outlook. sounds cumbersome ...  it's a lot easier to blow through
    80 or 100 PICLIST messages a day in Pine than using the Windows interface.

Heh.  I use a text-oriented mail reader for most of my mail myself.
(MM.  A unix clone of a tops20 program from the late seventies :-),
and it DOES seem to be much faster...
