[lug] browser via telnet sessions?!

[Rob Mohr]

Hola! 

My ISP recently did an upgrade to Sun Solaris 5.++ and it cause me some
grief when my email got jazzed in the .pinerc file.  After some
consternation, I got that fixed.  But I may have found a neat perl in that
mess.

The new version of Pine is close to the old.  I don't knwo why or what
they wanted to fix.  A few things have changed.  But interesting to me,
there is now a utility for viewing gif and tiff files.  My ISP is looking
to see what that utility is called.  Also, Pine is now prompting me to
"select browser...ect" when it hits on html code.  Since that line, too,
is blank on my .pinerc file, I have yet to try this out.  

But I am a bit nonplussed by this new version of Pine.  Does anyone on the
list run a 'net browser via a telnet session?
