	no, the characters are all alphanumeric, no spaces even. however:

	'A' on the attachment gave me details about it, which is a command 
i've never used. the curious part is this:

                Type            : Text
                Subtype         : HTML
                Encoding        : QUOTED-PRINTABLE
                Parameters      : CHARSET = Windows-1252
                Approx. Size    : 19,695 bytes
                Display Method  : "/usr/bin/sensible-browser '<datafile>'"

	sensible-browser? i've never used or configured that... sensi* 
isn't anywhere in the config, either. invoking it looks just like links2.

	for curiousity's sake, i renamed sensible-browser & then copied 
lynx as /usr/bin/sensible-browser, but doing so made no difference to 
pine.
