There's a nice tool that I use called pgpenvelope which provides 
integration between pine and pgp/gpg.  http://pgpenvelope.sourceforge.net

You just discounted every single Microsoft E-mail client out there ;)

Generally, what I've found is that you have to piece together various 
tools to get the functionality you need.  I use:

1) Pine for sending/reading

2) Fetchmail for grabbing

3) pgpenvelope for easy encryption/decryption

4) procmail for sorting/filtering/blocking

Following my own advice, I test drove sylpheed and really liked it's 
threading capabilities.  Wish pine did the same...

Cheers!
