I just read your follow-up message stating that the form does not submit.
You described the same problem I experienced. If I want to sign up for it,
then I'll just go and use a winblowser.
I'm happy to hear that it works well in POP3 mode. I want to try it also
with an IMAP client. BTW, Michael just recently posted a message saying
that he is going to implement IMAP in a future version of Arachne. This
is great news!
BTW, how well does MyRealBox perform with Arachne when using the
"web-based" email over the www interface?
All the best,
Sam Heywood
