Pine handles MIME pretty much transparently.  You don't need to configure
anything unless you want to set up viewers for special MIME types, etc.

On a related issue. 
Does anyone have a good description of tools and formats that are
commonly used for converting binary files to ascii for transfer.
Something that would be good for a Help Desk person to have to help
recognize an encoded mail message.
And pointers to the tools, for instance binhex for unix, off-line mime
conversion, etc.

thanks

I too would like to know if there is any way to get pine to decode BINHEX 
attachments.

I have lots of friends using Macs & PCs who send BINHEX attachments to me 
(I use unix) that I can't access.  (Or can I?)  Can anyone help?

By the same token, most of them claim they can't access attachments that 
I send them.

In article <[email-masked]>,
>anything unless you want to set up viewers for special MIME types, etc. 

Can you give an example of how, for example, I'd add in a type for an
Excel spreadsheet (file extension .XLS) so that if I asked to View that
file it would pull up excel as the viewer?  I understand the basics of
the mailcap file, but I don't understand how to add a new mime type so
that when the file is attached to the message, Pine knows to specify the
type as (for example) "application/excel".

Thanks....
