So I could view jpegs in pine, I added to .mailcap (and restarted pine):
Image/JPEG ; cat %s | ssh rainier DISPLAY=rainier:0.0 /usr/X11R6/bin/xv -

(Later I will make a wrapper script to do the right thing for different mime types.)

On rainier I added for ssh config: "ForwardX11 yes" (for one certain host). Then we I connected to pilchuck, I received:

sh: /usr/bin/X11/xauth: No such file or directory
because that remote system didn't have xauth (and didn't use X). I removed the "ForwardX11 yes", because I didn't need it.
