Hi Steve;
This sounds a little like a problem that occurs when you don't have a "TEMP"
directory for Arachne.
Make sure your autoexec.bat has a line similar to either of these:
Set TEMP=[Drive]:\Arachne\TEMP or Set ARACHNETEMP=[Drive]:\Arachne\TEMP.
Make sure the specified directory exists.
Another thing that gets in the way sometimes is the specification for the
Arachne mailpath in Arachne.cfg under [system].
The default is:
Mailpath MAIL\
Sometimes, if Arachne is not installed on the "C" drive in \ARACHNE, it needs
a full path specification. This may have been improved in later versions.
Try:
Mailpath [Drive]:\[Path]\MAIL\
