1) man pine
2) read it
3) grab a copy of the pine-faq
4) read it

This will tell you which values to set in pine's setup. Check the
mailcap settings in particular:

5) man mailcap
6) read it
7) see if you get your sysadmin to set up mailcap to a value that
   allows, say, launching XV - like this:

# The following line is for sites where xv understands jpeg but
# xloadimage is preferred.  the test line specifies that this viewer
# should only be used if the display variable is set.
image/jpeg; xv %s;  test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
# The following sends all other image subtypes to xli
image/*; xloadimage %s; ;  test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
# The following sends all other image subtypes to wmli
image/*; wmli %s; ;  test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

You could copy this into a file called /.mailcap, provided the
programs are available on your system. Try saying

	which xv
	which xli
	which xloadimage

9) STOP SHOUTING. All caps is reserved for yelling at Joe Random
   AOL-user. 

Later,
Robin
