Saving/Viewing Attachments How do I save and view attachments in Pine? Heres how to do it with pine, but its really too much trouble; Use WebMail.
• Log into your UNIX (Icarus or Tigger) account • Start Pine • Retrieve the message with the attachment • Press v to view the attachments • Highlight the desired attachment/s and press s to save into your home directory • You will be prompted for a file name. It is recommended that you keep the default. No spaces or special characters can be used for the name of the attached file. Transferring the attachment: • Transferring requires a program called FTP for Windows or Fetch for Macintosh. More information regarding these programs can be found at • Be sure to erase the attachments from your account after transferring to avoid disk space problems. Viewing the attachment: • At this point, the file should be on your local computer • Locate the file and double-click on it. If your system recognizes the file extension, then it will open the file with the appropriate program. For example, doc1.wpd would be opened using WordPerfect.
