Subject: $MAILCAP and mailcap file

I have a .mailcap file, which works great with Netscape to display 
PostScript documents.  Pine does not seem to find this mailcap file; it 
is in my home directory:

	~/.mailcap

I have tried to define $MAILCAPS=:$HOME/.mailcap: , but that didn't do 
anygood.  How should tell Pine that I have my own mailcap file ?

Thanks, Christian Labadie

Christian,
To find out what's happening, try the following:
Run
  pine -d9
Then view a non-text attachment.
Then quit Pine.

Now look at your .pine-debug1 file and search for "mailcap: " lines.
You should see something like:

- mailcap_can_display -
- mc_init -
mailcap: path: /usr/shivausers/gray/.mailcap:/etc/mailcap
mailcap: process_file: /usr/shivausers/gray/.mailcap
mailcap: processing file: /usr/shivausers/gray/.mailcap
mailcap: processing entry: image/*; xv %s ;  test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

Please let us know what you discover.
