Steve:
What version of PINE are you using? I use the DOS version and
it does not "render" HTML attachments. Whenever I receive an
HTML attachment with PINE, I save the attachment as a file.
Later after I have quit PINE, I open the HTML file with Arachne.
Alternatively I could open the HTML attachment with Lynx386 or
with some other program capable of rendering HTML.
When using PINE, unless I were to save all my email messages as
separate files, I don't know of any way to view these messages
except with the built-in PICO editor program. If you have
discovered a better and more versatile way of viewing your email
messages with PINE, please let me know about it.
