MORE INFORMATION

This update contains MAIL.EXE, a replacement for the MAIL.EXE file that is included with versions 2.1 and 3.0 of Microsoft Mail Remote for MS-DOS. This update provides the following functionality:

It adds the ability to save attachments sent from the Microsoft Mail Connection gateway and the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, Macintosh workstation.

It corrects a problem with the X.400 gateway where the message body is forced into a T.61 attachment instead of an IA5 attachment. When the remote client sends mail to X.400 recipients that cannot accept T.61 attachments, the entire message is rejected.

It correctly displays FFAPI network/postoffice entities defined on the remote user's home postoffice that have a Service Type = 100.
