Is it possible to attach a fax and view it with PINE?

Pine does not currently understand FAX formats directly, but you can 
attach a FAX as an application/octet-stream, save it in a file upon 
reciept and view it with an external FAX viewer.

Or, possibly convert the fax image to a TIFF or PCX file and use
one of the image viewers commonly available.  But I think we're
saying about the same same thing.

I have a "tiffview" which will allow me to view tiff files.  In the .pinerc
file if I define:

# Program to view images if format such as GIF and TIFF
image-viewer=/usr/local/bin/tiffview

Should this work, or what is the purpuse of this entry?

Thanks.

Pine currently assumes that "image-viewer" can handle gif, pgm, pbm, 
tiff, and jpeg image sub-types.  With that in mind, your definition 
should work.

I attached the fax as a fax and sent it to the other box; that didn't
work.  I converted the fax to a tiff file and that didn't work.
I set the "image-viewer" to tiffview and that didn't work; all I got
was:
"don't know how to display attachment Image/TIFF"

Any suggestions?
