Just look at the headers and mark all of your obvious spams and viruses for deletion, expunge them from your inbox, and then close PINE and your connection to the remote server. Then start up Arachne and download the legitimate emails that are remaining in your inbox. I do this all the time and I do all these things during the same internet session and over the same TCP/IP connection. This procedure is very fast and efficient and it allows you to mark and expunge all your spams and viruses from your inbox in just one fell swoop. Oh, BTW, I have learned that an item of email that you should always mark as a virus and not even download and open and read is any message having a header saying that it is from Micro$oft.
