Yes, you can see a picture if it is sent to you as attached file. Just 
use your usual "V" command to view the attached file. If your .pinerc 
file is properly configured you should be able to see it. You can 
configure your .pinerc file from the main menu of pine by pressing S for 
"Setup", and then chosing C to configure the .pinerc file. Now press W 
for "where is" and find image-viewer. Now press A to add value to that 
field, I have put xv in that field you can put in the name of any viewer 
that your system has.

Pine is very user friendly. If you want to know more about it just play 
around with it, use help, look at the command menu that appears on the 
bottom of the screen, and you would know everything I know about pine.

Hope that helped

If the file you are attaching is ASCII, there should be no need to attach
the file using MIME.  Simply read the file into pico (^R).
