Emacs & PINE -- "perfect together." [Don't hurt me!]

A sad, sad truth that I've come to accept is that I have PINE's keystrokes
emblazoned in my memory. I use it at least once a year, whether I need to
or not, and I never even have to pause. They keystrokes are just THERE.
I tried MUTT. No dice. Never was a big ELM fan. And GUIs are certainly
nice, but sometimes text based is the way to fly.
Ironically, however, I really hate PICO.
So I've set up Emacs as my default editor. Nice. But the one problem I
have is that I'd really like to have Emacs do column-77 wordwrap if -- and
only if -- it's invoked from PINE. I have zilch idea how to invoke this
from the command line, and don't know enough about Emacs (I dabble, I don't
"use") to do it any of the other ways.
Suggestions on which approach? I've Googled, to no avail, but I know that
there are some Emacs die-hards out there, and would be glad to follow their
sagacious advice.
Thanks much,
-Ken
