Nope, incorrect both of you ;-)

Did you check for what it's used? It's used for the http protocol, mime64
encoding/decoding is done in Insight. Now some might remember that I've
said that core.exe handles the mail, so let me explain how Arachne works:
core.exe:
* sending/recieving everything
* html and image (bmp, gif and ikn) viewing,
* editing of files (for mail for instance)
insight.exe:
* encoding(decoding attachments for mail
* converting e-mails into HTML files
* converting e-mail indexes into HTML files
wwwman.exe:
* ftp file listing conversion into HTML (needs to be fixed)
* creating HTML files of local directories/drives
apm.exe:
* installs and extracts APMs
* launches "netdos" programs
djpeg[32].exe:
* converts JPEGs into BMPs
png2bmp.exe:
* converts PNGs into BMPs
miniterm.exe:
* opens a connection to a server over a COM-port
epppd.exe:
* uses an open connection through a COM-port to establish PPP
cwsdpmi.exe:
* required for png2bmp.exe and djpeg32.exe
plany.exe:
* plays sound files
uudecode.exe and uuencode.exe:
* encodes/decodes UU attachments for e-mail
comtool.com:
* to find the modem
termin.com:
* to close down the PPP connection
And in the system\dgi directory:
goph2htm.exe:
* for gopher://
cfgwiz.exe:
* configuration wizard
wizard.exe:
* another configuration wizard
fixmem.exe:
* changes output from mem/c
hotlsman.exe:
* handels the hotlist
Comming features (or an APM?)
ssh.exe:
* for ssh://

I see you haven't turned CR's into CRLF's, grep works much better if you
change them.
