Subject: Mime text (ISO-8859-1)

Hey, Hey,

Here is my situation.  I as the unix sys admin receive mail from many
MAC users (msmail) who login to the unix servers.  When I receive 
their messages it appears to be in MIME format, therefore I must
press V to view the text (Latin text ISO-8859-1) of their messages.
This is not a big task, but after 5000000000000 times it can become
annoying.  

Is there a way to have pine automagically display the text when you 
select a message??????

Thanks,
Jason

I know where you are coming from!  Sometimes I get mail that is OBVIOUSLY 
text, but is broken up by MIME headers (stating that they are text!).  
This means various extra keystrokes.  Can we let pine simply DISPLAY 
those fragments that are text automatically, rather than go through the 
song and dance?

And another thing:  PrYnting such messages is less than optimal (one line 
per paragraph).

Not "all".  It would be useful to ensure that your terminal/emulation
has actually been configured to display ISO-8859-1.  Otherwise the
display could be rather confusing.
 
PINE has no idea what character code your display has been set to,
and has no way to change it.  For correct results you should set the
terminal to match the PINE setting.

Thanks for the suggestions,

I have tried to change the character set to ISO-5589-1 but
this does not seem to help.  I have tried on RS6000/AIX 325, 
HPUX 10, and SGI/IRIX but I still get the following after I 
select a message;

  [Part 1, Latin 1 text (ISO-8859-1)  1 lines]
  [Not Shown. Use the "V" command to view or save this part]

Any clues??????

Thanks 
Jason

  I do not use any MacIntosh, but I heard some Mac mailing program tags
sent messages with a name (I think it was ``Message Body'' or something
similar) so that message bodies appear as attachments. If I remember well,
one man from Sveden created a patch (for some platforms only--including
SGI and HP) which solves it. But I am not sure I can publish his patch as
I received it personally. I will try to ask him (or maybe he wiil read
this notice and answer himself).
