You'll need an MTA anyway, since many mailers on UNIX (esp console-based
ones) don't support SMTP delivery to remote hosts. I seem to remember
that pine is one of them - I know mutt is, anyway.

Not AFAIK, but mutt has good support for POP3 and IMAP, you might want
to consider
setting him up with that insead - though changing the editor from vi to
pico might
be wise for him...
