Hi Sam E. ,
Try this...rename your "sendmail.ah" to
"sendmail.ax" in x:\arachne\system\gui directory. Then
replace it with the "sendmail.ah" I have attached to this
email. Then run Arachne and go to the compose page.
If you press "Shift-Page down" from the top of the compose
page, yopu should get an email text compose box of 22 lines
which will cover about 3/4 of the page.
