SUMMARY
=======

In the Microsoft Mail Windows client, you can send mail to users not found in
the Postoffice Address List in one of two ways:

- By enclosing the address in square brackets, [address], mail will not search
  the address list for a match. If the brackets are not used, the following
  error message is returned by mail when the names are checked:

  Some names could not be matched to names in the address list. Try correcting
  the names or choose Address to select names from the address list.
  Successfully matched names are underlined.

  These addresses must be enclosed in brackets and have a leading address type
  specified. Microsoft Mail is the default type used.

  Examples:

     MS Mail            [MS:Network/Postoffice/UserID]
     SMTP:              [SMTP:User@Host.Domain]
     Mail Connection    [MSMAIL:user@postoffice]
     X.400:             [X.400:/C=us/ADMD=mci/PRMD=widgits/PN=JohnDoe]
                  or    [X.400:/C=us/A=mci/P=widgits/S=JohnDoe]

  Note: Follow the steps below to see a sample of the address you are sending
  to. After creating the address into the mail message, double-click the name
  to see the actual address. You can also click the name in the Address window
  and click the Details button.

- The names can also be manually entered by using the address windows, as
  follows:

  1. Select Compose Note.

  2. From the message toolbar, select the Address button.

  3. From the Address window, select the New Address icon. It is the blank card
     on the left of the address list.

  4. This brings up the New address window. Select the appropriate address type
     from the list and click the OK button.

  5. This brings up the New User dialog box. Fill in each box according to the
     requested information. The Alias is how it will look on the To line of the
     Mail message.

  6. Click the To button to add this name to the To: box of the Address window.

  7. Click the OK button when done adding in addresses and the names are added
     to the To: line of the message.
