MORE INFORMATION
================

This update contains MAIL.EXE, a replacement for the MAIL.EXE file that is
included with versions 2.1 and 3.0 of Microsoft Mail Remote for MS-DOS. This
update provides the following functionality:

- It adds the ability to save attachments sent from the Microsoft Mail
  Connection gateway and the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, Macintosh
  workstation.

- It corrects a problem with the X.400 gateway where the message body is forced
  into a T.61 attachment instead of an IA5 attachment. When the remote client
  sends mail to X.400 recipients that cannot accept T.61 attachments, the
  entire message is rejected.

- It correctly displays FFAPI network/postoffice entities defined on the remote
  user's home postoffice that have a Service Type = 100.

After you download RMTUPD.EXE to a clean directory, run it (by typing "rmtupd"
(without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS prompt) to extract the contents of
the file. You should receive the following files:

  MAIL.EXE (221,089 bytes, dated 02-15-93, 3:00 P.M.)
  README.TXT

To update your MAIL.EXE file
----------------------------

At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER

  " copy <drive:>\mail.exe <destination> " (without the quotation
  marks)

where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self- extracting
RMTUPD.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and directory where your
Mail Remote MAIL.EXE file currently resides. For example, if you ran the
self-extracting file from the TEST directory on drive D, and your MAIL.EXE file
is located in the MSREMOTE directory on drive C, type the following commands:

  copy d:\test\mail.exe c:\msremote
