Subject: Pine's treatment of HTML character entities

From: Bob Rasmussen <[email-masked]>

I just received an email that contained both a text portion and an HTML
portion. My Pine (4.21) is configured to display the HTML portion by default,
with its built-in HTML viewer. The message contained a character entity for en
"en dash", which is Unicode hex 2013. Pine displayed this as hex 13, which is
X-off, which promptly locked my keyboard.

So the question: what rules govern Pine's HTML viewer's display of characters
not contained in my charset? 

It appears that this behavior is affected by the configuration setting
"pass-control-characters-as-is", but turning that off results in the display
of the actual character entity sequence. Could this be handled better?

Hello,

Do you know is there an compile time option for the location of
"mime.types" ?
I know we could define pine.conf in os.h, how about mime.types?

Lots of thanks!

If you want you can change the default in the source code by setting
MT_STDPATH (see .../pine/mailcap.c). But an easier way to do it is to
configure the default in pine.conf with the variable

  mimetype-search-path

Hi Steve and Pine Form users,

Thanks very much for the info.
Do you know where can I find information on how to compile and install
imap-utils?

I downloaded the tar file, it contains man pages, but I could not find
information on how to compile and install.

Thanks!

Lynn

Make sure you have the last version of the imap server compiled, your
directory structure should look like

% ls
imap-2000/ imap-utils.tar.Z

 uncompress imap-utils, this will create a lot of directories, each one
containing a different product. Enter manually to each directory and
"make" the product you want.
