Hi all, 
	I have a couple of questions on elm. I was using elm2.4ME+ PL32
and just upgraded to PL49 because it won't start xv (or anything else)
for image/jpeg or image/gif files. I'm running the same code on solaris
boxes and can freely change from xv to gimp in my $HOME/.mailcap file
and things just work fine. This is the error:

[image/jpeg is not supported, skipping...]
[Use 'v' to view or save this part.]                 


	It correctly identifies a *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, etc. as image/jpeg
or image/gif. So /usr/local/lib/elm.mimetypes is working correctly. And I
have:
image/*; xv %s
image/jpeg; xv %s

in my $HOME/.mailcap.

Any ideas.

Also, I just downloaded Elm 2.5.2. Is there a reason that 2.4ME+ is better
than 2.5 or just that it hasn't made it into ports yet.

Please don't say "Use pine|netscape|mh|xmh|outlook|whatever, it's better". 
I've tried many many many mailers, and after a week or two or three, I go
back to elm. It's how I do mail.

Thanks,
Paul.
