Interesting. I still think it's likely the file is getting created and then deleted, but now I have no evidence of that.
2 things: 1. Could you attach the entire debug file to this bug? 2. You could make sure the temp file is getting created? Here are the steps I used: sudo aptitude install inotify-tools In one terminal window do this: while inotifywait -e create /tmp do done Then in another terminal window run pine -d9 and open an attachement (with v-v) The first terminal window should spit out the file creation event Mine looks like this: gsker@veeta:/tmp> while inotifywait -e create /tmp/ do done Setting up watches. Watches established. /tmp/ CREATE .806.b959f Setting up watches. Watches established. /tmp/ CREATE img-MSWORD-78337.doc Setting up watches.

Watches established. press Ctrl-C to or close the terminal when you are done. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905468 Title: View attachment fails in Alpine when attachment is an image: image Viewer cannot find file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alpine/+bug/905468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
