No offense taken. Apology accepted.

 Yes, I read them as they arrived and then left them in the inbox.
I used the Pine inbox as an archive. As Pine took me automatically to
the first new message without any noticeable slowdown in performance
this caused no problem whatsoever. Every few months I would throw
stuff out.

Then my ISP canceled all the shell accounts and I started using
Arachne for my email. I found I had to change my habits!

For other reasons my email needs have changed, so it's not a
problem anymore.

But it would be if I got involved in high volume emailing again. At
one point I was on three lists and each got forty or fifty emails
a day. If I went away for long weekend I could come back to four or
five hundred messages and if the download got jammed halfway through
I'd have even more.

Subject: rach now on tap!

Hi Gangue,

I am gobsmacked! (British phrase to show complete and total
astonishment)!!!

Downloaded latest version onto machine, installed it and up and running
with install wizard in less than 6 minutes! This is the way it should
be! At long last. It's even working with the internal modem, convinced
it's using a real modem and not the half witted winblows one that's
actually in the machine!

In the U.K. till maybe October again, then off to Spain for the winter
again! Had a really nice time this year, October 2002 till April 2003.

Using Tiscali as an ISP, of course they "don't support DOS programs!"
but all appears to be fine, DNS numbers in and evrything.

Cheers for now

Best Regards

Mel

Outgoing messages may remain in the outbox and fail to get sent for
reasons other than an SMTP upload abort.  For example, due to a typo
or some other oversight you might sometimes prepare an outgoing message
that fails to comply with the RFC's.  In this case the message will
remain in your outbox and fail to get sent, and you won't even get any
error messages during the SMTP session.  Things like that can happen
also as a result of an occasional glitch in the matrix, even when the
SMTP session is not aborted, and even when your outgoing message is RFC
compliant.

My preferences are differnt.  After doing SMTP I would always want to be
left looking at my outbox, regardless of whatever screen I should call
the SMTP function from.

To Alejandro Lieber:

Where do you now find UKA_PPP on the Internet for download?  I already have it,
but the download site no longer seems to have it.

To Christof Lange:

On your inability to access some news servers, I find that the mail and news
functions in UKA_PPP sometimes don't find a host by name but will find the host
by IP address.  I don't know if the fault lies with the mail and news programs
or with TCPPORT.EXE, am inclined to think it's TCPPORT.EXE.  You can get IP
address for a host, using the domain name, using TRACERT.EXE, which is included
with WATT-32, possibly a ping might work too.

Subject: Re: NEW MONEY

Steve,

You say you use Spamassassin.  One emailing list I'm on uses Spamassassin, and
one of the messages came through marked as ***SPAM*** in the subject line, but
the "offending" message was included in a text attachment.  I couldn't see
anything indicative of spam in that message, it looks like Spamassassin just
went bananas on that one.

On the question of pornography, such spams don't usually contain that word.  
The word "pornography" is more likely to occur in a discussion of such spams.

from Ron Clarke:

I get these too, and since I see the messages in straight text mode, these hide
tags stick out like the proverbial sore thumb, as if to scream "I'm spam!", and
I know to mark the message for deletion.  I may get things like
Enl<!-some-junk-here>arge your pe<!- more junk here>nis ...

Glenn, do you have any choice, is there any user configurability of the spam
filters, or are you just stuck?

Hi Vladimir,
For Windows there is Windows Commander acting just like Norton Commander
for DOS.
Win Commander does a very good job for FTP, with two panels.
One panel for the computer at home and one for the remote computer.
Download, upload, deleting and copy is very easy...

Yes, to find such thing for DOS would be great!

Subject: [A-list] Saving a webpage

Hi List,
I did some trials in saving two pages.

1- empty the cache (F8)... I have my cache written to the HD

2- go on line to the desired website

3- disconnect after downloading the page(s) (Alt H)

4- leave Arachne (Alt X) so no events are added to the cache

5- go to cache.idx. COPY cache.idx website.txt

6- view or print website.txt
   This file is one very long line... not all viewers/editors like
   this and it is not easy to understand it.
cache.idx is a list that states:
original filename => cache converted => cache + original extension

I had the cache.idx (website.txt) made better readable by searching for
">" by the editor and giving an enter to break up the very long line.

Cache converted = conversion by Arachne on JPG files. Default JPG =>
BMP. I use JPG => GIF.

7- Use Norton Commander and make two windows:

********* LEFT *************      *********** RIGHT ****************
New directory for webpage         Arachne\cache
****************************      **********************************

index.html                    <=  54930731.htm

                                  *
                                  ***** files in cache copied with
                                        original name (F5) to new
                                        directory.

- -8 Open Arachne, F10, and view new directory => index.htm
   Yes, the page is saved with the correct immages!

*********************************
I did not try this with long file names... but index.html became
index.htm... however a good webpage does not use long file names ;-)

IMHO there must be an automated way to use cache.idx to convert the
files in the cache back to the original names; but how to do it?

I will add to modified cache.idx (webpage.txt) with commemts:

Subject: [A-list] Saving a webpage

Bastiaan,

I too looked at CACHE.IDX, but didn't copy it to a .TXT file to open it with 
a text editor.

As I see it, the CACHE.IDX database relates the <http://....> image to the 
stored cryptic cached name.  There should be a way to extract the 
<http://....> names from the database do a search and replace on the saved 
web page, replacing <http://....> with the cryptic cached image name.

I do not know what database program CACHE.IDX uses, but I tried to access it 
with FOXPRO2 and got the error message that CACHE.IDX is not a database, even 
after I copied it to CACHE.DBF.  I also did a web search on the extension, 
.IDX to see what database programs it might be associated with, but had no 
success there either.

With FOXPRO2, you can copy fields to a text file with the command,

COPY TO [path]filename.txt FIELDS field1 field2 ... DELIMITED WITH '

That would not give a long line and you would only need the fields that have 
the image location on the original web page and the cryptic cached name.

A .BAT file then could do the search and replace and, if necessary, use a 
routine like STRINGS.COM to increment thru the text file.

Fantastic !

Really glad to hear that everything went so well for you with this install.


However.....
That's not the 'latest version'. 

That one is almost 2 and a half years old. ;-)

v1.71;UE01 is the 'latest release'.... http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/

And v1.73;GPL will be available to the public
just as soon as Michael releases it.

(or gives the 'OK' for me to release it)

Yes,

Huhh hmmmm.....

FYI,
We have had the option for several years now of
changing where we go after either POP3 or SMTP

In arachne.cfg you will find these 2 lines
which are (by default), commented-out.

;AfterPOP3 smtp:
;AfterSMTP file:mail.htm

Remove the ';' to 'enable' either one (or both), of them.

If after POP3, you would like to go to mail.htm instead of the 'default'
of being sent to the inbox.
(or the commented-out option of then sending any unsent messages via smtp)

You can use this line.
AfterPOP3 file:mail.htm

- --- my settings ---
AfterPOP3 arachne:exit
;AfterSMTP file:mail.htm
_______________________

As to
"What earthly use is it to be presented with the empty Outbox...."

1) when we send just the one outgoing message we are
   currently viewing/editing. We are now on the outbox with the
   remaining uinsent messages shown. (not an empty outbox)

2) when something goes wrong with the 'Send unsent mail' function.
   a) in my case.... if I forget the spam filter settings
      at CisNet and mistakenly have one of the 'forbidden'
      characters in the subject line of one or more of my
      outgoing mails. '$' is forbidden in subject line at CisNet :(

    b) when sending to an SMTP sever which requires POP3/SMTP
       within 5 minutes and I missed the 5min deadline

3) just out of 'curiosity' that everything went
   right and that all messages *did* get sent ;-)

__________

As to POP3 and SMTP going into history.lst

I will look into this and get back to you.

The reason for this is that those 'values' do not get saved until
we 'submit' the form by pressing either the "Send Now" button or
the "Save to Outbox" button.

When we change from the mail comopse screen to any other screen.
(wheater it be the external editor, the edit help screen or whatever else)

The form has not yet been submitted.

Therefore the new values in those fields have not been saved.

At this time: There is no 'workaround' to fix this.

key words.... 'at this time'. ;-)

That is a VERY good idea.

Suggestion....

Instead of hitting the 'forward arrows button' to move to the next
message in your inbox.

Why not try hitting 'Archive' instead.

That will automatically rename the file to .MES and move it to
the archive directory and then display the next message in your inbox.

To do it right now....

move c:\arachne\mail\*.cnm c:\arachne\mail\archive\*.mes<enter>

Done. <g g g g>

Rick,

Not being smart donkey, but have to ask ... You *are* installing the
packet driver before you open Arachne, right??

Sam, et al,

I owned three(3) lists on OneList, which were transferred to EGroups
when that buyout happened, which were subsequently bought by Yahoo.

Since the Yahoo buyout, I have terminated two(2) of my owned lists
(still have one), I have subscribed to 5 others, and had one of my
YahooClubs transformed into a YahooGroup.....

I NEVER get spam on any of the email addresses that I use exclusively
for the YahooGroups lists.  The only spam I receive is on the one
email address that I use for general, around-the-web, use.

I am NOT a shill for Yahoo, but I can assure you, that, whatever
use Yahoo might make of any of our information, they do NOT sell our
email addresses to spammers.

.....gregy
