I recently received an email in the increasingly common format of plain
text followed by the same info in html. Usually those are no problem.
But when I tried to read the html portion of this one, it started to
display and then suddenly changed to the Arachne Fatal Error screen.
Since the html msg is short, I am attaching it to this msg. (If you try
to view it and get the Fatal Error screen, you probably don't have to
reboot. I didn't.)

Although the file information indicated that the file name was LORI.HTM, my
e-mail program saved it as MAIL030.BIN. Looking at the file, it appeared
that it was indeed just HTML, so I renamed the file, LORI.HTM, went into
Arachne (v. 1.48) Desktop, clicked on HTML files, went to the directory where
LORI.HTM was, and was able to read it without any problem, i.e., Arachne
didn't crash. I will try it again with 1.60 when I go home for lunch.
Hope this helps.
