「別にいいのに」 can mean so many different things depending on where one says it. It would help if you gave the context in which you saw or heard this phrase. Meanwhile, if one of the following phrases seemed to fit, then that would probably it for you.

1. You didn't have to do that.
2. It doesn't really matter to me.
3. I didn't quite expect (something).

We say 別にいいのに very often. It's this kind of everyday phrase that makes your Japanese sound like Japanese.

これからも頑張ってください！

Life saver! Thanks masaegu-san !
I think it is no. 2- "It doesn't really matter to me."^^;
It was in response to a statement I made about myself in an e-mail.

Hai, ganbarimasu !!

But also what does 見てへんよ ?
It was in response to ~~見ましたか・・・? (・・,)

I'm really sorry !

The person you are talking to must be from Kansai (West Japan-- Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto area)

見てへん　is Kansai dialect for 見ていない、(見ていません）. He didn't see (watch) it.

Thank you MMM-san, he is from there.^^;;
I know this may go OT but . . . . . .if I want to show a pic to a DoCoMo keitai user from internet mail, I can't just attach images ? How must I send pictures ?

You guys are both very helpful, thank you again !
