Not to worry..... bug-fix on its way.
(see to Sep 29, below)

-------------------------------
Changes since release 1.71;UE01
-------------------------------

1.87;GPL,386+ stable for DOS
----
Release date: Oct ??, 2005

Aug 20, 2005
'Cleaned-up' the download progress indicator
and made the bytes/sec indicator optional.

Aug 22, 2005
Fixed some major problems with fontshift

Aug 25, 2005
Created an actual usable 'Address book'

Aug 28, 2005
New option added to always download an entire page before beginning to display.

Sep 15, 2005
Fixed a problem with Insight.exe in which an extra 'null byte' was being
appended to files attached to emails.

Sep 27, 2005
Modified Insight.exe so that 'finger', 'gopher', 'https' and 'telnet'
will now be 'clickable links' in displayed email messages.
(previous versions only did this for 'http', 'ftp' and email addresses)

Sep 27, 2005
'Melded' into my code, these advancements made by Joe da Silva
* Added "ShortestRefresh" option (default = 2 sec)
* Fixed the useless "Local IP  0.0.0.0" info. display

Sep 29, 2005
Small mod to the SPAM freeze-up stopper code.
(old code was causing some undesirable aborted pop3 downloads)

Sep 30, 2005
Moved 'Up one level' feature to URL instead of the Arachne version number.

Oct 09, 2005
Added the new hotkey Alt+V to 'validate'
the current page via http://validator.w3.org/

Oct 16, 2005
Added the ability to request a return receipt from email clients
capable of returning them.
'Return-Receipt-To:' and 'Disposition-Notification-To:' will now be placed
into the headers of outgoing mail messages for which we choose to do so.

Oct 18, 2005
Small modification to insight.exe so that it will also recognize
'User-Agent:' in addition to the "standard" 'X-Mailer:'

Oct 19, 2005
Arachne will now check disk space on the 'mail drive' instead of the
'current drive' for sufficient space to save incoming mail messages.
If available space is too low for a particular message, that fact will
be written into a .CNM in our inbox.
--- example ---
Subject: Skipping message #1, too big for disk space available

 Available disk space on mail drive: 294912
 Required disk space for this message: 1212994
