I think there is $m macro used in MIME.CFG - you can see for yourself...

Yes. $m is replaced by actual pathname. See $roura$.bat in your
%TEMP%\ARACHNE.TMP\ directory.

Use $M to pass pathname to your filter. And when your filter is finished,
I would appreciate to be able to offer it as APM package for free
download, or even include it as part of Arachne distribution package...
But my approach to this was more simpler: my idea was to add option
"Search for string" to normal INBOX, so INBOX would be created only from
messages meeting certain criteria. So you would be able to search for
"arachne-digest", and index files would be created in a way like if no
other CNM files were present in the directory...
