-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Chuck and all. To be able to read html mail in pine, put the following line in your .mailcap: text/html; lynx -force_html %s This will let you hit enter on an html attachment, and that will launch lynx. There is a way to make lynx launch on the fly so to speak when you are reading an html message, but I never implemented it, because I wanted to know what I'm reading. The method for doing this is described in the list archives somewhere, or maybe someone else will post it again. To be able to arrow up and down URLS in a message, and hit enter on one, you'll need to install the urlview package, which I don't remember the URL for now. You would then hit ctrl+b in a message, and get the list of URLS in that message. Hth.
