How Do I Save a File That Was Mailed to Me?

This is assuming that someone has sent you an e-mail message with an attached file and you want to save the attachment.

While you're in pine and looking the message, type v to view the attachment. Scroll down till the file you want is highlighted. Enter s to save the file and enter a file name when prompted. This will save the file to your main directory. After it's been saved, enter e to exit the viewer and return to the original mail message.
