Hi Ross; The "quick" delete works everywhere *IF* the path shown in the URL slot is complete and you use the keyboard. It *apparantly* works everywhere if you use a mouse, regardless of the perfect path. :(( So, here is a workaround until we produce a version of Arachne that will provide the complete path automatically: F3 to URL slot. enter "file://c:\arachne\mail\*.snt" <enter> or use your path and any folder (subdir) you want like ....arachne\mail\urgent\*.mes Now the "quick" method should work. You will probably have to "open" one message at least to smarten Arachne up and have it give you the list with subject line instead of the file list you will get from WWWman the first time you do the above. It isn't clear to me right now EXACTLY what makes her call Insight to generate that list - sometimes she does and sometimes .... I just had an idea. Try specifying your mail path completely in Arachne.cfg and let us know if THAT fixes it. - Clarence Verge - Back to using Arachne V1.62 ....
