I've got a way of viewing attachments from p.b.i in slrn, 
just press "v" while the article is open and it opens 
the display utility of ImageMagic with the attached image.

It'll view the first attachment fine, but doesn't load any
further attachments of a multi attachment post into 
ImageMagic.  I'd be glad if someone can advise me on how 
to remedy this, the code is below for both the macro 
and bash script. 


## The bash script:
(slrn_uudecode --stdout $1 | display - &) <&0


## The slrn macro
## If you use this be sure to remove these comment lines.
## as in S-Lang comments start with % and not #.
define xv_view_article ()
{
   call ("art_bob");
   
   if (re_search_article ("^begin \\d+ "))
     pipe_article ("uudisplay");
   else
     pipe_article ("uudisplay -64");
}
definekey ("xv_view_article", "v", "article");


To make it work I have recompiled slrn's own uudecode
utility and called it slrn_uudecode and put it in my 
PATH, I've called my shell script uudisplay and 
called the macro file uudisplay.sl

And in my .jnewsrc file I've included the line
interpret "/the/path/uudisplay.sl"

The person who wrote the original of this assumed that
XV would be used, but I can't get it to compile so 
am using ImageMagic.

If anyone can help me to get multiple attachments to 
work I'd be most grateful.
