-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The following is a list of features new in the version 3.0 Microsoft Mail for PC
Networks client utilities.

Monitor Attachment File Extension Preserved
-------------------------------------------

The Monitor program no longer truncates the extension of an attachment when it is
saved.

Monitor Compose Accelerator Keys Highlighted
--------------------------------------------

On the Compose screen, the accelerator keys for TO, CC, SUBJECT, PRIORITY, and
ATTACHMENTS are now highlighted.

Micro--No Password Execution
----------------------------

If you do not start the Micro utility with a password, the program installs;
however, it will not display any information about an arriving message but it
simply notifies you that a message has arrived.

If you use the -p option, the behavior is the same as in versions of Mail earlier
than 3.0.

Operator--Compose Accelerator Keys Highlighted
----------------------------------------------

On the Compose screen, the accelerator keys for TO, CALLER, and ACTION are now
highlighted.

Display--Metric Image and Paper Sizes
-------------------------------------

Image and paper sizes are displayed in millimeters rather than in inches.

PPB--Execution Message
----------------------

The PPB command no longer displays command-line options when it is run. Instead,
it displays the following message:

  NOTE: This is an auxiliary program for processing graphics. Use DISPLAY.EXE
  or MAIL.EXE to access graphics functions.
