SYMPTOMS
========

If you select to update your address lists with Remote Mail for Windows, and
messages are still in the Outbox, it is possible that those messages will be
misdirected.

CAUSE
=====

When a message is composed, there is a pointer associated with the address that
is referred in the ADMIN.NME and GAL.NME files. When you update the address
list, it overwrites this entry and offsets the old address with the new entry.
Depending upon the changes made in the address list, this action can effect the
pointers to addresses of messages waiting for transmission in the Outbox.

RESOLUTION
==========

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but
has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems
experiencing this specific problem.
