Ah, so you're really remote rather than on a LAN. Me too sometimes. Then I recommend writing a wrapper for use in your mailcap file as follows. Where you may now have: image/jpeg; xv %s; gui image/jpeg; env DISPLAY= iminfo %s; copiousoutput you would use something like this: image/jpeg; with-REMOTEHOST %s env DISPLAY=:0 xv; gui image/jpeg; env DISPLAY= iminfo %s; copiousoutput where with-REMOTEHOST might be this script: http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/bin/with-REMOTEHOST It's not fast either, but it is faster than a remote X11 app. Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson <c...@zip.com.au> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ The govt MUST regulate the Net NOW!
