Subject: Can I see jpegs in Pine?

Some newsgroups I lurk in occasionally have "jpegs" posted.  I assume 
they are graphics of some kind (I'm new to the world of technology).  
Is there any way I can view and or download to a disk these images?  
Obviously I'd need to view them before downloading them, to see what they 
are.  If I can't see them in Pine, is there a way to see them through 
Netscape?

I will appreciate assistance.  And please, explain it simply and 
clearly--I'm pretty dumb with computers.

Steve

While reading a uuencoded jpg, why not
|            !pipe 
uudecode     !send the post to be processed by uudecode program

This produces somefile.jpg in the default directory.

sz somefile.jpg      !use zmodem to download the graphic file
sz -u somefile.jpg   !use zmodem & delete file from account on successful dl

You'll still need a graphics viewer which you can easily find 
with a websearch.
