Spam and Pine

I've always been a fan of pine.  As long as I can get an ssh window to
my home machine, I can get mail.  The major downside to Pine relative to
the rest of the world is that it's not a POP client.

So I want to do something about my spam problem.  But everything I look
at seems to have the same formula -- point your pop client at this spam
filter which will act as a proxy.

Is there a good anti-spam solution that works in such a way that
something like Pine, which periodically moves my mail form
/var/spool/mail to $HOME/mbox (only while it is open), could use?

If all else fails, does anybody have a pine-like (i.e. text/console app)
that works as a POP client?
