No it doesn't:
Command Line Arguments
Pine
...
< file
Pine will startup in the composer with file read into the body of the
message. Once the message is sent, the Pine session closes.
-attach file
Go directly into composer with given file attached.
-attachlist file-list
Go directly into composer with given files attached. This must be the last
option on the command line.
-attach_and_delete file
Go directly into composer with given file attached, delete when finished.
...
I don't want to go into the composer. I want it to just send the damn
message I specify to the address I tell it to!

Are earlier versions smaller than 1MB? That's how big the current version
is. PINE has always been bloated, so I wouldn't expect an older version
to a) have the functionality I seek and b) be able to fit in memory with
the net drivers loaded and while another program is running (i.e. PINE is
shelled out to).
THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT EXIST!
