Does PINE 3.91 (UNIX) use a mimetypes file, and if so, what is the name?

The documentations do not cover this - they only discuss how PINE 
"sniffs" the file to be encoded and sets the mimetype based on this.

Thank you in advance.    -=BB

No... mime.types support was introduced in Pine 3.92 (the current version
is now Pine 3.94).

If I recall correctly the man page for these versions of Pine describe the
locations searched for mime.types and mailcap files.  Alternatively you
can, as I did, search the source code (eg, using grep) looking for the
string 'mime.types'.

Cheers,
