Hello Hoody:
Went there and checked it out. Very interesting! Arachne's "begin bug"
is a little bit different from the Micro$oft "begin bug".
With the Micro$oft mailers you won't get bitten by the "begin bug" unless
you start a line with "begin" followed by two spaces. Also you will not
get bitten if you start with "Begin", using the upper case.
With Arachne's mailer the bug will get you even if you have just one space
following the word "begin". Also it will get you regardless of whether you
use upper case.
Take care, and don't begin the beguine at the starting line.
