I am trying to use pine's display filters to run lynx to view an HTML
document sent to me via email.  After several attempts, I can't seem
to get it right.  What is wrong with placing this in the display
filters section of the config?

"<html>" /usr/local/bin/lynx -force_html  _TMPFILE_

I get Permission denied as an error message.  The only thing I can
thinkof is that _TMPFILE_ is unable to be read, since I have tried
things like "html" /usr/bin/cat _TMPFILE_ with the same result.

Thanks 
Ray

I think you're going at it from the wrong end.  Add this line to your
$HOME/.mailcap (or whatever mailcap your pine looks at):

  text/html ; lynx -force_html %s ; needsterminal
