You need software capable of displaying JPEG image files.  These are
available from most of the major ftp sites...Hobbes, Garbo, etc.  Since
you don't say what operating system you're using, it's possible that if
your OS includes multimedia support, you already have the software, but
you need to learn how to use it.  Check your manuals.

YOU SEEM TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE TERMINALS THAT CAN'T DO LOWER CASE.
(I'LL TYPE THIS RESPONSE IN UPPER CASE SO YOU CAN READ IT).
UNFORTUNATELY, UPPER CASE TERMINALS CANNOT, AS A GENERAL RULE, READ
JPEG ATTACHMENTS.

SORRY,

MATT

YOU NEED TO SET AN ENTRY IN YOUR MAILCAP FILE, ADD THE PATH OF YOUR
MAILCAP FILE TO YOUR PINERC AND SEE TO IT THAT YOU HAVE A PROGRAM
INSTALLED THAT IS CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING JPEG FILES.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO TALK TO YOUR LOCAL HELP DESK OR CONSULT PINE'S
DOCUMENTATION (ALSO AVAILABLE IN FORM OF ONLINE HELP).

BTW, all caps are considered SCREAMING...

Cheers,
Robin
