Brian, 

it is possible to combine Arachne's mail support with external 
programs, e.g. you may want to use Arachne to send and receive your 
message, but use a different mail client to read and compose messages 
in the mail directory. You will only need to take care that the 
incoming messages in the mail directory are separate files with the 
extension .cnm and outgoing messages are expected to have the 
extension .tbs. 

The best mail client for DOS is Pegasus mail 3.50 (PMail). It is very 
customizable has a capable internal editor with spell checking, an can 
use other editors for composing messages, too. It is text mode, but 
can use all kinds of plugins in order to display and convert 
attachments (in the same way as Arachne can). 

I have been PMail together with Arachne for more than 7 years and 
could give you some hints to set up the program.
