SYMPTOMS
========

In Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, groups can be composed of users on other
postoffices. Mail sent to such a group from the Remote Mail client or from
another postoffice will be delivered to all local users; however, the mail will
be returned for all users at postoffices other than the one on which the group
was defined. Sending the mail will generate the error message "Mail retry count
exceeded."

CAUSE
=====

Remote Mail users see a group as one user, while local users see the group as
the members. This can be seen from each client by selecting the group name in
the To or Cc field, and pressing the RIGHT ARROW key.

STATUS
======

This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future
release.
