[arachne] Re: ARACHNE MAIL BOX / ALTERNATE EDITOR PROBLEM

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Inresponse to my request for assistance with the problem of my alternate 
editor not getting my message from there into insight's outbox for 
emailing, Ray Andrews said:

"Part of this is an old bug -- the part about losing the address etc. 
fields when you come back from an external editor."

"However, your text most certainly should be loaded into the text area."
"So I think something is very busted,  I'd recommend temporarily REMing 
the lines in arachne.bat that delete $rorua$bat, then try editing an 
email and then quit and take a look at the $routa$.bat that would have 
been created as your external editor was used."
"It should give an idea what's wrong."

I did so, and the resulting  $roura$.bat file resulting was as follows:

k:\aracram\djpeg32.exe -bmp CACHE\25459858.JPG CACHE\25459858.BMP
k:\aracram\djpeg32.exe -bmp CACHE\25459901.JPG CACHE\25459901.BMP
k:\aracram\djpeg32.exe -bmp CACHE\25459931.JPG CACHE\25459931.BMP
k:\aracram\djpeg32.exe -bmp CACHE\25459950.JPG CACHE\25459950.BMP

arachne -rg

Does this seem to have any functional meaning to any of the members of 
the forum who are more knowledgeable about these arcane matters than I?

I would certainly like to get my VDE editor to become a welcome partner 
in composing and sending insight email.
