just found something that i thought was sorta cool ... so i figured i
would pass it along.

i had been wondering how pine knew to automatically launch lynx when it
receives an html attachment ... and traced it down to a line in
/etc/mailcap.

next i decided that i wanted it to launch Netscape instead but i wanted it
to load it into an existing Netscape window so i didn't have a problem
with the 'lock file message'.

anyway is is the voodoo incantation that appears to work very well :)

remove the lynx line from /etc/mailcap and add this one:

text/html; /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape -remote 'openFile(%s)'; needsterminal; 
description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html

good luck and may the force be with you red five.
