Laurie,

Those technical people at Freeserve (is that correct?) were awful dumb,
repeatedly assuming you were running a recent Windows.

You can delete a message from a POP3 server using telnet to the POP3 server,
specifying port 110 in most cases.  You would use 'dele' command, but would need
to make sure you were deleting the correct message.  Or you could use a Perl
script.  I don't know if that would work in DOS, if the DOS port of Perl has the
Internet modules.  You would need to consult the appropriate RFC for POP3
protocol, I forget the number.

All I got was a terse "go away, unrecognised browser" Undetered I went
to A's web site and downloaded the SHTML.APM, which to a Internet dummy
like myself, look's like it will make Arachne access web pages with
a shtml sufix. Back to Freeserves website.."go away, unrecognised
browser"

I didn't see it at first, but later I noticed, it's not the SHTML you're
missing, but the https support that Arachne lacks.  Maybe you could try with
DOS Lynx386 from http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/  ?
