Hi Glenn,

Thanks for that additional information, which was missing
in earlier discussions about Arachne lock-ups with Yahoo.

Although I have used Arachne several times recently to
access Yahoo Groups, without any problems, I don't usually
use Yahoo Web-mail directly (my account is set up to
automatically redirect messages, so I don't need to:-).

However, I have now tried Yahoo Web-mail with Arachne and
alas, it crashes after a couple of screens.    :-(

Joe.
