MORE INFORMATION

Mail 3.0a

---------

MS-DOS Client:

- Modified the MS-DOS client to work correctly with the MS-DOS 5.0 Task
  Swapper.

Windows/PM Client:

- Added the ability to Import/Export folders. This was done through the use of
  a custom command.

- Added the ability to read, write, and delete messages in group folders.

- Resolved problems with displaying the template information of gateway users.

- SHARE is no longer required when the MMF is stored on the server. If the MMF
  is local, then SHARE is still required.

- Resolved some problems with SETUP.EXE.

- Resolved problems with Windows hanging when trying to exit Windows. If
  Windows was closed with Mail still loaded, the system could hang.

- Resolved the problem with not being able to access an attachment in a message
