Subject: sending/viewing HTML attachments

Hi--

Has anybody been able to get pine to work with HTML attachments? It
appears to be brain dead with regard to the text mime-type, ignoring
any entries in mailcap files and displaying them internally. At a
glance, it looked like mime_can_display() only checks the charset
parameter, totally ignoring the subtype (when the type is text).

Outgoing attachments are marked as text/plain. This would involve a
bit more work to fix, as it would require analysis of the text body
(as opposed to simply looking for a magic number). An easier, but
less robust solution would be to mark it as text/html if the file 
extension is '.html' or '.htm'.

I might try to implement at least the viewing capability, but I 
figured I should check here first to see if anybody else has tried
it or is working on it.

Thanks,
jonathan

These problems will be fixed in Pine 3.92, scheduled to be released when
we get done working on it ;)
