INTRODUCTION
============

The disk provided with this Application Note contains MAIL.EXE, a
replacement for the MAIL.EXE file that is included with versions 3.0
and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. This update includes a
modification to correct the following problem:

 - With version 3.0 of the MS-DOS client, when you read certain
   messages that contain color highlights, the message may exhibit a
   host of problems ranging from benign (characters changing color) to
   severe (user's system locking up).

To update your MAIL.EXE file
----------------------------

1. Insert the enclosed WA1029 disk in your floppy disk drive.

2. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER

      copy <drive>:\mail.exe <destination>

   where <drive> is the floppy disk drive containing the WA1029 disk
   and <destination> is the drive and directory where your MAIL.EXE
   file currently resides. For example, if the MAIL.EXE file is
   located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C and the WA1029 disk is
   in drive A, type the following command:

      copy a:\mail.exe c:\mailexe

   A message will be displayed stating: 1 file(s) copied. This
   indicates that your MAIL.EXE file has been successfully replaced.

   NOTE: The MAIL.EXE file typically resides on the postoffice server
   in the Mail executables directory as well as on the machine
   importing addresses into the database. Make sure you update all
   copies of the MAIL.EXE file.
