One reason why somebody might like to send and receive mail
independently from each other might be the fact that Arachne saves
incoming mail CNM in files which are well readable for Pegasus, but
on the other hand cannot send the outgoing messages MSG produced by
Pegasus mail client. As I prefer text mode Pegasus to graphical
client insight.exe I cannot use Arachne for sending mail.
SMTPOP and SMTPOP11 do the authentication before sending, and can be
restricted to one server name (both of them) or only for outgoing
direction (SMTPOP). So I put the uploading mail function into an OOK
file placed a link to it in my hotlist.
*** send.ook ***
MailDrive:
cd \NewMail
i:\pmail\smtpop.exe [EMAIL PROTECTED] password
ArachneDrive:
*** hotlist.htm ***
<BODY LINK="#007070">
<H1><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">EMAIL</FONT></H1>
<LI><A HREF="file://m:\mailon.asf">Receive mail</A>
<LI><A HREF="file://l:\oops\send.ook">Send mail</A>
<p>

Of course the receiving function can be done by a batch file, too. To
me however, it seems that Arachne's method of ASF scripts is a
very fast way of downloading mail from multiple accounts and
mainly it is very easy to customize. I usually download mail when I
am online with Arachne for two reasons:
1. I have the opportunity to view all incoming mails in
chronological order. As soon as I open the Newmail folder in
Pegasus I have them sorted into many different categories.
2. Insight and customizing in MIME.CFG offers a quicker way to
view big attached files (e.g. horrible DOC files from WINDOWS)
