me too (most of the time, the rest is Pine in an X window).

Pine interprets the mailcap settings ($HOME/.mailcap and /etc/mailcap
files). Read the manual pages for them ... html mail reading does *not*
depend on them though.

Normally pine uses an internal viewer for html mail (plp:~ # pine -version
Pine 4.40 built Mon Oct 8 23:27:45 IST 2001 on plp). This has been true
for quite some time now .. (since pine 3.91 at least - I've been addicted
to this since 1995 or so).

If you can't figure it out email me privately and I'll help. The normal
way html looks in Pine is, like a page viewed with the Lynx browser on a
text terminal (with enter-able highlighted links etc).

Peter

PS: If you are inpatient then add the line:

text/html;/usr/bin/lynx "%s"

to your ~/.mailcap file.
