         I get the following error mentioned in the subject line when
         I want to read or save a html-attachment from a local
         electronic newspaper:
         
         [Error: Formatting error: Non-hexadecimal character in QP encoding] 
      
      What does the string in question look like in "real life"? It
      might really be bogues, and if so, Pine is correct in
      complaining.
   
   I can only view the attachment when I use Mutt which calls lynx to
   do it. With pine I can not even save it to be viewed manually by a
   browser.
   
   Pine would not even include the attachment when I forward it
   otherwise I could have send you a copy of the attachment.

>From the main menu in pine:
   1. Type 's' for 'Setup'
   2. Type 'c' for 'Config'
   3. Scroll the very bottom and select (hit enter) on 'url-viewers'
   4. Type 'lynx' and hit enter
   5. Type 'e' for 'Exit'

>From the config, you can also set your mailcap and mime.types search
path to /etc/mailcap and /etc/mime.types, respectively.  This will
configure viewers for various applications as well as html.

Hope this helps,
Dennis
