Pine URL Viewer
I like to launch a browser from pine after I press on a link in the
message viewer and let pine continue to allow me to read other email while the
browser loads the URL in the background.
To that end, I found this stuff out there, and am re-producing my customised
version here for convenience.
Create a text script somewhere, say $HOME/scripts/urlview, and put the following in it :
#!/bin/sh
# short script to invoke BROWSER from within pine as a background
# process, so pine can continue. Only arg is the URL.
# Author: Ed Arnold
# Modified by: Atul Nene
BROWSER="konsole -e lynx"
#BROWSER=/usr/bin/konqueror
#BROWSER=/usr/local/netscape/netscape
URL=`echo $1 | sed 's/,/%2C/g'`
#
# handle viewing HTML attachment or message files
#
ATTACH=`echo $URL | grep /tmp/img-HTM | wc -l`
if [ $ATTACH = 1 ]; then
cp $URL ${URL}.html
URL=${URL}.html
fi
$BROWSER "$URL" &
and modify these 2 settings in your .pinerc :
image-viewer=<$HOME>/scripts/urlview
url-viewers=<$HOME>/scripts/urlview
Note: Ensure to replace the <$HOME> with the actual path.
