- Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The Microsoft Mail gateway operations for communication with the MHS world is
carried out specifically by two files: INPOST.EXE and OUTPOST.EXE.

INPOST.EXE transfers files from a Microsoft Mail format to an MHS message format
for delivery through MHS.

OUTPOST.EXE delivers MHS mail to Microsoft Mail. This version preserves the MHS
header unless encapsulation is being used. It then discards the MHS header and
delivers the message as if it had been sent locally.
