NAME

       showpicture - View an image received in the mail

SYNOPSIS

       showpicture  [-viewer program-name] file-name(s)

DESCRIPTION

       The  showpicture  program  will  allow  a user on a properly-equipped workstation to view a picture using the xloadimage(1) program.  It is
       intended to be called from mailcap files, typically by the metamail(1) program.

       By default, the program used to display pictures under X11 is "xloadimage -view -quiet -geometry +1+1".  This can be overridden  either  by
       the environment variable X_VIEWER or by the -viewer command line option.

SEE ALSO

       metamail(1)

BUGS

       Doesn't do much if you're not running X11.
