Subject: PINE 4.58 does not detect attachments

I'm certain it's something in the way I've got it set up, but for the 
first time in more than 10 years of using PINE, I've got a problem I can't 
solve by reading the help or archives.

When I recieve attachements, PINE does not detect them. The view command 
offers me only the plain text portion. 

I know the attachements are present and intact; I can see them if I view 
headers, and if I export the headers version, I can decode the mime 
attachements with metamail. I just don't see them in PINE.

Any ideas?

I have noticed recently that text messages that I compose in PINE 4.58
will line wrap incorrectly when viewed in a graphic mail viewer such as
Outlook 2003.

I don't recall making any PINE configuration changes which I would have
expected to cause this.

What are the PINE configuration options which I can set to cause NO line
breaks to be inserted until I enter two consecutive carriage returns in
the composing editor?

Thanks!

The default in Pine is to wrap the lines at 74 chars. And that is how you 
should usually format an email to.

If you want to write paragraphs that flow across the whole screen 
independent of the screen-width, upgrade to Pine 4.60 which supports 
format=flowed formatting of emails. That will still wrap the lines so they 
look good on a non format=flowed compatible email reader, but those that 
do support it will let the paragraphs flow across the whole screen.

I don't think you can disable line wrapping, but you can set 
composer-wrap-column to a really high value, but I don't recommend it.
