SUMMARY
=======

The Microsoft Mail Postoffice Diagnostics Utility (PODIAG.EXE) displays the
following error message when it detects that the delete chain pointer in the
NETPO.GLB file is corrupted:

  Error 117 Detected an incorrect value in file
  (NETPO.GLB). The value will be reset to its
  default. Do you want it corrected?

The delete chain will then be reset to zero, resolving a problem that is most
often apparent when you try to add external addresses to a Personal Address
List. The error message that is displayed in the MS-DOS client is:

  Notice 53
  Error creating user address
  in Personal Address List.
  Press Enter to continue
