decoding attachments with pine

[Patrick J. Collins]

Hi everyone,

Since I did a clean install of Leopard on my powermac, my abilities to
open attachments are no longer working. Is it possible that pine is
ignoring my ~/.mailcap file?

I know that in Tiger, there was a .mailcap file in /etc which pine
seemed to read (and ignored the one in my home directory), but I tried
copying a mailcap file in there, but pine still does not open my
attachments.

... Anyway, this is what I have in my mailcap so far:

image/*; display %s
text/html; open -a /Applications/Firefox.app %s
Application/OCTET-STREAM; open -a /Applications/Quicktime.app %s

-- If I select an html attachment, and try to view it, it does not
get exported to firefox (as it used to).

-- And if I try to open a video, it says:

[Don't know how to display Application/OCTET-STREAM attachments. Try Save.]
