To refresh every ones' memories on this point:
"@" only refers to switching to text mode when it's used in mime.cfg
In the case of "@list" it is referring to taking a list of eMail
addresses from the named file instead of "verbatim" on the To: line of
the message.
Similar to the @list option in many programs. (such as pkzip)
-x<file> eXclude specified file
(compares to To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
-x@list eXclude file(s) in specified list file
(compares to To: @list )
["list" contains one or more "valid" eMail addresses each on its own line]
"list" can be any valid filename. [extension is optional]
Here are several that work fine for me on many occasions.

There are 3 "absolute requirements" for this function:
1) "list" must be a valid filename
2) this file muse have one address per line
3) the file must be located in the arachne_main directory

I'll see if I can duplicate that. brb
Nope, no such problem here.
If you'll notice:
This massage is addressed to "@clean-v"

Did it ever occur to you that your "fave editor" might have done it???<VBG>
Just kidding.
I've noticed some very strange stuff being written into arachne.cfg
(lines have been removed from it as-well)
I'm still trying to track-down the cause.
So, even tho I can't duplicate this problem.... I don't deny that Arachne
might indeed be the cause of it.
IMHO, The cause is more likely in core.exe than in insight.exe
