How do I set up PC-Pine to view attachments instead of saving them?
You need to create two files MAILCAP and MIMETYPE. When you installed Pine, samples of these files were include as: mailcap.sam and mimetype.sam. The MIMETYPE (do not use the extension) file defines the types of attachment formats you want to use. The MAILCAP (do not use the extension) file indicates the path for the viewer application of a certain type. Please note: viewing an attachment means opening the attached file in a corresponding application program, what is done automatically by Pine, after you set up MAILCAP and MIMETYPE.. See below my MIMETYPE and MAILCAP files. Please note that I have included mime types for Microsoft Word, WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3 in the MIMETYPE file, and have included a path for the viewers (Word, WP and Quattro) in the MAILCAP file.
