It's a very powerful agent and works perfectly well, in my experience. In fact, procmail is the program that actually delivers mail on Red Hat systems by default. In other words, sendmail is used to send outbound mail, and fetchmail to retrieve mail, and procmail to deliver it to users on the local system. Pine is a very capable program, and supports things like hyperlinks and opening mime types like .wav files, if you have the correct mailcap entries. However, it requires too many keystrokes, for my taste, for the task of deleting message threads. Consequently, I have recently been using mutt, where this can be done with just two keystrokes.
