   I'm still trying to figure out how to get pine to display 
images.  At the moment, I'm playing with .mailcap, but I'm a 
little confused about it.

   I see that this is a file which comes with metamail, but slack 
doesn't run metamail by default.  So, there's not /etc/mailcap, & 
the .mailcap I have looks to be a different format (I think it 
was produced by StarOffice, as all but the entries I'd put in are 
SO entries.

   My question is, does metamail have to be running for a .mailcap 
to be read?  Also, would any of these be the correct syntax?:

application/octet-stream:/usr/local/bin/fbi %s
application/BASE64:/usr/local/bin/fbi %s
application/image/*:/usr/local/bin/fbi %s
