Subject: Pine attachments and MIME labelling

Looking at the source, Pine 3.91 decides how to `MIME label' a file one
attaches to a message being created by peeking at the first few bytes,
and checking these against a few built-in file types it knows about. 

Are there any plans for Pine to support the (arguably more flexible)
`mime.types' mechanism, whereby the labelling for given file types may
be configured externally by the user, in just the same way as the viewer
for received mail may be configured with `mailcap' ? 

    I.
