How to set up MetaMail?

I'm trying to set my Yarn up so I can use MetaMail. I'm running OS/2 and
have both programs in the OS/2 versions.

My Yarn config file contains this line:

decode-mime=M:\Jens\Internet\MetaMail\MetaMail %f

My Config.Sys file contains this line:

SET MailCaps=M:\Jens\MsgBase\Internet\MailCap

And my MailCaps file looks like this:

text/*; e %s
image/gif; F:\APPLICATIONS\PMJPEG15\PMJPEG.EXE %s
image/jpg; F:\APPLICATIONS\PMJPEG15\PMJPEG.EXE %s

When I try to process a MIME message that contains a JPEG my screen blinks
and that's all. What am I doing wrong?

BTW what format is the MetaMail docs in? Which program can I use to read
the files?
