Is there a reason PINE doesn't recognize JPEG-files as being just JPEG
when attaching them?  GIF works fine.  It must be possible to see
that it's a JPEG by looking at the file, "xv" and other viewers can.

PC-Pine doesn't support it either.

The "jpeg" subtype is part of the MIME standard.

Our MIME support still has a long way to go to be complete.  We will work 
on adding the rest of the MIME subtypes as fast as time and resources 
permit.  When we do add new subtypes, they will be supported across all 
platforms.

This is also something that we would like to see...JPEG is the preferred
method of storing images here because they are sooo much smaller than GIFs.

Later...
