I am trying to set url-viewers in my .pinerc so that it will open a new browser window with HTML attachments.
If I set it to
url-viewers="open _URL_"
Firefox says "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
On the command line, while Firefox is already up, when I try
What should I set url-viewers to in pine to get this to work?
(I did this in Linux using the remote command and it worked great. I don't know if Mac stores the pid in a file to allow it to communicate the same way, 'though.)

I use OS X 10.4.3 with Mozilla Suite and putting this in my pinerc works:
url-viewers="/usr/bin/open _URL_" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Note the full path!
If using the full path to open doesn't solve your problem, I have some information about url-viewers here

I just reread your original message Robert and see that I had misread your question. For viewing an *attachment*, which is what you asked, you are right that the ~/.mailcap file is used to specify the viewer.
But, to launch a URL that is in the message text, for example this URL:
Pine does indeed look at the url-viewers setting. I just updated the url-viewers section of my Power Pine page (which is where the above URL goes) to try to make all this a little more clear.
Hope this is useful, Nancy

I find that page (and some of the other ii ones) difficult to use, even with the 'contents' panel in there. Maybe they're just too long? Every time I've tried to read through in search of some useful tips, I've lost the will to live well before the end!
Maybe it's just me.

I know my pages are *way* *too* *long*, but I didn't realize that they made people lose the will to live! Aargh, I've spent too much time trying to figure out a content management system to use. I've considered:
MediaWiki Dokuwiki Django Wikka Wiki Trac or some other Rails app
If anyone has any advice for a good system for me to move my Infinite Ink stuff too, please let me know. I definitely want to make it easy for people to add comments!
Maybe in 2006 I'll finally deal with this big daunting project! For now I just keep tinkering with my existing pages and thinking that eventually it will all be a part of a much more accessible system.
Happy Holidays to all, Nancy
