I have linux box and pine 3.91 running. I recieved 2 files attached to my 
mail in MAC-binhex format and pine cannot view. I keep getting a message 
that pine cannot view MAC-binhex. 

Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks in advance

Okay thanks 

The file as far as I know is being sent by a MAC so I will get him to 
paste the file into his main message so I can read it. That part of the 
message I can read.

Thanks again and I will look into this.
