Hi list,

here is a workaround for the xSwap errors occuring with
Arachne script files (.asf). It may be useful for those who
like to automize mail transport (send, download, inbox)
in Arachne:

1. you need to download mail from only one pop3 account:

* Do not use .asf files for mail transport

* Instead call the mail functions with 'smtp:'
  (you may want to link this to a hotkey SHIFTFn)

* Edit the correct data in arachne.cfg, e.g.

    SMTPserver smtp.quick.cz
    POP3server pop3.volny.cz
    POP3username username
    POP3password password

* Use another function arachne.cfg to create a chain of commands:

    AfterSMTP pop3:
    AfterPOP3 reload:inbox.dgi

* Instead of inbox you may 'call' even SSI files proceeded by the
  Arachne add-on shtml.exe


2. you need to download mail from more than one pop3 account:

* Put smtp:// and the different pop3:// lines into the .asf script
  (you may want to link this to a hotkey SHIFTFn)

* Do *not* use inbox.dgi as the last line of the script

* Instead you may insert mail.htm to the last line of the script
  or write a simple maildone.htm that reminds the user how to call
  the inbox (key I and R) and how to return to the home page.

* Probably even a REFRESH tag in maildone.htm that waits for a
  few seconds and then returns to the home page is secure.
