Yes ``viewhtml'' is the program by Kevin Solway. I use yarnx on a
486 with 28megs of ram, transport is done with uqwk, and memory
manager is himem/emm386. Since you probably have a different amount
of ram installed in your PC and a different set of TSRs and devices
installed in your ram, at different places (via your autoexec.bat and
config.sys files), and a different size yarnx.exe (since I installed
an updated pmode.exe inside yarnx) -- there is no simple way to compare
memory conflicts between your system and mine.

Within my configuration, when I load yarnx low, I consistently get the
message:

memory error at segment B700

when yarnx/metamail tries to execute viewhtml. When I load yarnx high
the mem utility tells me that yarnx has been put in a different, upper
portion of memory. And viewhtml successfully displays html messages,
with no error message like the above.

>From this I think it fair to conclude that the problem is a memory
conflict, related to the memory location of yarnx.
