If you would like to give it a try.... it's still in all of my releases. ---- in mime.cfg (single line, broken for emailing) --- file/savefile.dgi >txt|if exist $s goto ne\ncopy /b $l $S>$2\ngoto end\n:ne\necho "file exists">$2\necho "try a new name">>$2\n:end __________________ --- in arachne_main\system\gui\saveas.ah ---- <!-- to stop using savefile.dgi and use the 'classic style' arachne:save --> <!-- uncomment the arachne:save section and comment-out savefile.dgi section --> <!-- begin savefile.dgi section --> <!-- <FORM ACTION="file://savefile.dgi"> Filename: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" ARACHNESAVE NAME="" SIZE=26 active> --> <!-- end savefile.dgi section --> <!-- begin arachne:save section --> <FORM ACTION="arachne:save"> Filename: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" ARACHNESAVE NAME="$COPY" SIZE=26 active> <!-- end arachne:save section --> ____________________________________________ > One feature I would like to see with Arachne is a "browse-n-select" > for attachments to emails. > I don't know whether this feature exists with other email clients as > I've never done an attachment with Foxmail which was the only one I used > before i discovered Arachne. > PUHLEASE don't anyone tell me that this is a "Windoze" feature. > We do it with Arachne already for some functions -- try entering > file:*.htm on the URL line to select a file for viewing. Same situation as above. I added this capability several years ago and no-one seemed to express much interest in it. --- http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/mailfram.htm --- --- (just now re-uploaded for everyone to try) --- This 'interface' consists of 4, (count 'em .. four), simple lines. <FRAMESET ROWS="20%,79%"> <FRAME SRC="file://@:*.*" SCROLLING="Yes" NAME=drives> <FRAME SRC="file://system\gui\sendfile.ah" SCROLLING="Yes" NAME=sendfile> </FRAMESET> The top frame displays the 'accessible drives' in which you may 'browse to any file anywhere on your system. The bottom frame displays 'sendfile.ah'. Browse to file you wish to attach, 'rightclick' or Shft+Enter on the filename to copy its location to the clipboard. Place the cursor in the appropiate attachment field and hit Ctrl+V to paste the file location into that field. Edit the field to delete 'file:' from the start of the file location that was just pasted-in. Browse to the next file you wish to attach and repeat the process. -- Glenn http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.table.html Arachne at FreeLists -- Arachne, The Premier GPL Web Browser/Suite for DOS --
