If there is no variable for postscript files in .pinerc, you could instead
try to install a mailcap file (an example can be found in
{pine-root}/doc/mailcap.unxadd), and change the viewer entry to your preffered
viewer. (See pine documentation for possible locations of this file) For more
info on mailcap files, you can get the metamail package mm. mm is available via
ftp from directory pub/nsb at ftp.bellcore.com. The distribution is mirrored in
Europe in the directory mail/metamail on the machine src.doc.ic.ac.uk, and on
ftp.funet.fi in /pub/unix/mail/metamail.
