Subject: Viewing attachments, the second view

Sorry if I seem a pain, but I have one more suggestion for 3.90.  I 
really like pine, now that I am spending so much time on it, but there 
are a few obvious things that I thought I'd put in here as I came across 
them.  

I was just reading a mailer that had 3 attachments.  I hit "v" to view, then
"1" to see #1, and then "v" again(!!!!) to view it (again???).  Once 
there, I thought, OK, now I can just jump to the next attachment, but no 
such luck.

It would be great if there were an option in the viewer mode that allowed 
you to "go to next attachment".  That way you wouldn't have to exit 
viewer and then enter "v","2","v" again just to see the next one.

Oh, and, while I'm thinking here (a once a day activity), it would be 
great if, instead of v2s (to save the second attachment) why wouldn't 
pine want to know "v" that I want to view, and "2" that I want to go to 
attachment 2.  There is no reason to then have to enter the "s" or the "v".
Pine should just pop me into looking at attachment 2, and then while in 
viewer mode, I should have the option to save.  Seems it allows a 
slightly, though obviously, shorter route to getting into the viewer, and 
gives the option of saving at any time, and not just when you get into 
the viewer.  (Of course, this idea is being typed while I am in typing 
mode, so I'm not in Viewer mode, should this already prove to be an 
option inside the viewer.)...

Bruce,

We do plan to revamp the attachment interface in a future release of 
Pine.  It will probably not make it into 3.90, but it should come shortly 
thereafter.

Thanks for the request!
