Then I exited PINE and closed my connection to the remote shell and I started up Arachne and downloaded all the messages from my mail server. When I viewed Roger's message when using PINE the text body appeared as though it were all inserted base64 code. No part of the text body was humanly legible. When I downloaded the message with Arachne and viewed it under Arachne the message was displayed to me in the same way I would see any other perfectly normal text email message. This is the first time anything like this has happened in my viewing of emails. Normally when I am sent an ordinary text message the message is displayed by PINE the same way as in Arachne.
