Subject: openning urls

Is it possible to configure PC-Pine to open a new
browser window when it opens a URL, rather than to
reuse an existing one?

The open browser window behavior is annoying.

Yes, you can configure PINE to use any web browser with any 
commandline options.  It is set up as a viewer in preferences.  
You can edit it there, or in the PINE config file.

If Internet Explorer is the preferred/default browser, you can also go to
Tools > Internet Options > Advanced
then scan down to "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts" and UNcheck it.

For the Opera browser:

M, S, C, -> url-viewers: opera -newwindow

For the other browsers, you had to check the command line syntax for
these browsers.

Or if you always want to use a new window (including when
launching a URL from Pine), do the following in Opera 6:

 File> Preferences> Windows>

  [ ] Reuse existing window
   ^
   |__________ make sure this is unchecked

Some of us who run on *ux/*ix have found it convenient to use a script
like the following one.  url-viewers points to this script.  The main
point of this is to put the browser in the background so pine can
continue.

#!/bin/sh
# short script to invoke netscape from within pine as a background
# process, so pine can continue.  Only arg is the URL.
# Author: Ed Arnold <[email-masked]> , but modified by Mike Miller & John
# Soper
NETSCAPE=/fs/local/bin/netscape
URL=`echo $1 | sed 's/,/%2C/g'`

#
# handle viewing HTML attachment or message files
#
ATTACH=`echo $URL | grep /tmp/img-HTM | wc -l`
if [ $ATTACH = 1 ]; then
    cp $URL ${URL}.html
    URL=${URL}.html
fi

if [ -h $HOME/.netscape/lock ]; then
   $NETSCAPE -noraise -remote openURL\("$URL"\,new_window\) &
else
   $NETSCAPE "$URL" &
fi
