Subject: Clarinet read problem

I read the clarinet news  groups using pine. On some articles (I think 
ones with pictures attached) i'm prompted to 'use mime display [y/n]'(or 
something similar).

When I hit Y it comes up with an error message about 'metamail not 
found',  does not display the picture but does go on to  display any test 
in the article.

Can someone let me know what this means and what i need to do to fix it?

Thanks, 

Ps  - can you copy me any replies by email as my news feed isnt always 100%.

Or an offline newsreader, like  YARN (Dos) or Eudora (Windows).

Any suggestions where I could find YARN ?

Oh, offhand, I'd say
/usr/local/ftp/pub/yarn/yarn_089.zip

at IOHK. Also, if you'd like to do it in windows,
download winyrn71.zip from the same directory. But you'll
have to get YARN for DOS working first, and that does
take some fiddling. I was happy when I did it, though.
Let me know if you need any scripts once it's
running. I download all my stuff with one command, 
upload it with another.
Cheers.
