...to export an ATTACHMENT to a seperate file so that I can use elsewhere
(e.g. say a .DOC file to ftp to Windows and then to view there). Can
anyone PLEASE help?

Thanks a lot,

No problem. First, choose View Attachment (V) then highlight the attachment
you want to export. Choose Save, and Pine will ask you what filename you want
to save the file under (it may default to the file's actual .DOC name). At
that point, you will have a copy of the file available for export in either
your home directory, or your current working directory, depending on how your
configuration is setup.

Good luck,
Joe DiBenedetto

From the passage "a .DOC file to ftp to Windows and then to view there", I
draw the conclusion that George is using windoze. I've no idea if there is
something like mailcap available, but if it is, you can set it up to launch
the viewer from the View Attachment-window -- that seems to be what George
is looking for, right?

Cheers,
Robin

Thanx for pointing that out, it would appear that way. What threw me was the
ftp part...that involves having a file to ftp in the first place.

Press V to view attachments and then S to save to a file in your home
area... I think that's how you do it...
