Yes, Arachne now offers floppy mail exchage, if you are OFFLINE.

But this happens inside DOS batch file , not inside Arachne....

It is not in Insight, it is external/pop3 and external/smtp, which
is used when you are offline. Some user asked for floppy e-mail
exchange...

It worked, obviously.

And it works also with Autodial set Yes (Setup PPP button on dial page).
You can easily comment external/pop3 and external/smtp, which is used
by Arachne in offline mode. Just comment them out from MIME.CFG
