  Convert the dvi file to PostScript and use a PostScript viewver (recent
versions of xdvi can deal with some PostScript operators, but I'm not sure
that all Seminar is supported).

  P.S. * Do not use the old `colordvi' package but the standard `color' one
(that you must load with `pstcol' with Seminar). Verify if you really need
`fancybox' (which has pitfalls), as `semcolor' that you also load has better
framing capabilities.
       * Look at the Seminar FAQ for more examples and advices.
http://www.tug.org/applications/Seminar
       * This list is devoted to PSTricks only and not too other works of
Timothy van Zandt, as Seminar.
       * Better disable HTML generation of your mailer.

  Good luck.
