EXCHANGING MAIL WITH WORDPERFECT OFFICE USERS

WordPerfect Office users can address MS Mail users in one of two ways:

• Simple addressing
• Extended addressing

Simple Addressing

To address a MS Mail user on the gateway postoffice, a WordPerfect office user can use the simple addressing syntax:

   Route:MHS:Foreign:Gate:Mailbox

   Route - is the local WordPerfect Office System Routing
   MHS - is the WordPerfect MHS connection Host Name
   Foreign - is the conversion type indicator
   Gate - is the gateway name
   Mailbox - is the MS Mail Mailbox name

Extended Addressing

To address a MS Mail user on a downstream postoffice or a gateway postoffice, a WordPerfect office user can use the extended addressing syntax:

   Route:MHS:Foreign:"Host{extended address}":Mailbox

   Route - is the local WordPerfect Office System Routing
   MHS - is the WordPerfect MHS connection Host Name
   Foreign - is the conversion type indicator
   Host - is the destination MHS Host/Gateway
   {Extended Address} - is the MS Mail recipient's address
   Mailbox - is the MS Mail recipient's Mailbox

LEADING AND TRAILING SPACES IN EXTENDED PORTION OF AN MHS ADDRESS

When using "Full Extended Addressing" OR "Concise Extended Addressing," ensure that you do NOT have leading AND/OR trailing blanks in the extended portion of the MHS address.

Example:

   Valid address - USER@GATEWAY {NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/MAILBOX}
   Invalid address - USER@GATEWAY { NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/MAILBOX }

SENDING ATTACHMENTS FROM THE MICROSOFT MAIL MACINTOSH CLIENT

You should use the "PC format" option available in the Microsoft Mail Macintosh client when including attachments in a message that have MHS recipients.
