This may be a bug in Souper for Windows, I think. As I recall, the
author is aware of this.

It is good to hear that you were able to save the email, after this
incident.

I see... I think that using Yarn95 has certain advantages besides
long filenames. I find that I can run Yarn via the MS-DOS prompt
and/or a DOS window, and better utilize Win95's memory resources,
especially when I create a shortcut for any of Yarn's functions.
Unfortunately, the mouse pointer is non-functional in Yarn.
