- Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

For messages and files sent from IBM PROFS, the Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM
PROFS and OfficeVision translates both the TO: and FROM: fields.

Any addresses in the TO: field of a note from PROFS are mapped from
Nodename(UserID) format to:

  TO: Mailbox Network/Postoffice

The originator's address in the FROM: field is mapped from Nodename(UserID)
format to:

  FROM: UserID PROFS/Nodename

All of this conversion is performed by the Host Access component code on MS-GATE,
when the message is placed in FFAPI file format. The LAN- side gateway program
(HostDisp or VMGATE) then uses this FFAPI file to generate a mail item in the MS
Mail database.
