Dear Sagar, Since you have PINE on Unix, that means you also have lynx or some other web browser installed... You need to configure you Unix system to call lynx when it find MIME attachments of the type text/html. This usually involves making some entries in the /etc/mailcap file or in the .mailcap file in your home directory. The following entry is found in the /etc/mailcap file for a Linux machine #text/html; smartnetscape file:%s ;test=[ -n "$DISPLAY" ] text/html; netscape -remote "openurl(file:%s,new-window)"; test=[ -n "$DISPLAY" ] && /usr/local/bin/reuse_netscape text/html; netscape file:%s; test=[ -n "$DISPLAY" ] text/html; lynx -force_html %s; needsterminal As you can see it would try to start up netscape if you are running xwindows and final run lynx. So if you select the option to view attachment from pine netscape or lynx would be started up automatically. For more help you can contact your local systems administrator.
