1.	Fix your script to be "MIME aware".

2.	Don't try to use pine for non MIME messages.

in which case you no longer have "simple ASCII email."

Do you have control over the script, or would the script maintainer be
willing to accept suggestions?  If so, reply with a copy and maybe
someone can give you some hints to fix it...
