Subject: Not printing attachments

Is there any way I can stop Pine being helpful and printing attachments
that it thinks it recognizes as ASCII text?  I keep finding I'm
inadvertently printing LaTeX source files, which is not good for the
planet.

I'm not asking for clever automatic behaviour - I'm happy to turn off
printing attachments completely, and do it manually.

When viewing a message, if you press "V" one more time, it will take
you to the View Attachment screen.  From that you can select and print
any message part individually, including the main body... although you
lose the message headers in so doing.  (Sometimes that's a bug,
sometimes a feature.)

Does that help as a work-around?

Aaarrghh!  It all comes back to me.  I've posted this question before
(because the problem keeps happening and each time I curse).  In fact
it's why I joined the forum.

I just want to be able to hit YY to print the next message and then not
find that it's printing 30pp of LaTeX, Sorceror's Apprentice style.  If I
had the foresight to use the V facility, I'd prefer to export the message
to a file, chop the unwanted 30pp off, and print.  In fact sometimes I do
remember in time and use this technique.

Apologies for the wasted bandwidth.
