Yes and that works although it is cumbersome if all I want to do is see
the html version of an email.
Oho! A great light dawns. I've been misunderstanding what you
want; I took it to be something external. Pine had a setting with which
to choose whether you wanted to see the html code; I set mine as firmly
as I could to "NO!" and it has stayed that way. My guess is that the
default has reversed.
I tried M > S > C > W for html, and got two hits, neither of
which looked *to me* to be that choice. You may want to check them.
Back in my pine days this worked. I would
like to be able to figure out what changed in Alpine. What I am not sure
about is if this feature broke when I upgraded from pine to alpine or if
there was a new version of alpine that broke it. This has been broken
for me for a long time. I just have not had the time to trouble shoot
this. Recently it is becoming a large PITA.
OK, here I can only refer you to one of the other sources; all I
know of html is one thing, that I detest it and all its works *in*
*email*. Your mileage obviously varies from mine. I haven't seen -- or
maybe just haven't recognized this question on the forums. You could try
comp.mail.pine on usenet; or set your newsservers to include
news.gmane.net, and try gmain.mail.alpine. info or gmane.mail.pine.
general. (Both the latter, I believe, are actually lists at UW; you might
prefer to get to them that way.)
Having hit my limits on the specifics, I'll nevertheless guess
that the choice is still there, and easy when you know where; there's
almost surely also a way to reverse the general choice in particular
instances, without having to go into setup. I'll bet you a sixpack to a
beer on the first, and two beers to one on the second, FOB Blacksburg, VA.
