+<P>
+In the good old days a mailcap viewer was used to examine an
+attachment before saving it, and after viewing the attachment control
+would return to the operating system when the viewer was closed. Therefore,
+when the mailcap viewer returned control to the operating system, it
+could be assumed that the user who opened the attachment was done
+examining it, and the copy of the attachment that was used, could be removed.
+
+<P>
+However, today this assumption is not longer valid. Some viewers return
+control to the operating system before they actually read the attachment
+to be examined. This causes Alpine to delete the attachment before it
+is read by the viewer, causing the viewer to fail opening the attachment.
+
+<P>
+In order to work around this problem, Alpine checks, after the viewer has
+returned control to the operating system, if there is any process that is
+using the attachment. This variable controls the number of seconds that
+must elapse between checks. Once it is found that no process is using the
+attachment, this is removed.
+
+<P>
+The minimum value for this variable is 60 (checks will be made once per
+minute), and the maximum value is 600 (checks will be made once every 10
+minutes). The default value is 60.
