Roger,
You're probably right about the archive needs for developers...
Anyway, it was only an idea.
Say, in regards to Yahoo...I have tried to inform the list that I
cannot in good conscience recommend using Yahoo Mail, Groups, or
My Yahoo in Arachne...Yahoo uses improperly formed cookies, very long
in length, with different "domains" than what is actually being
accessed.  This results in Arachne locking up the computer.  I have
experienced this lockup with versions 1.50RC right thru 1.73...the
lockup is so tight, not even CTRL+ALT+DEL will release it.  Only
recourse is to turn power off or press a reset button if available.
I own and manage a list on Yahoo Groups, InternetInDOS...but, I try
to tell people to NOT USE ARACHNE to subscribe or check group messages.
Lynx 386 DOS versions 2.8.X work pretty well however.
When you send the subscribe command to Yahoo Groups, what format are
you using?  If you need help, let me know and I'll send you what Yahoo
sent me as a Group owner/manager for email subscriptions.
C U L8R!
