The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 2.1d, 3.0, 3.0a 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The External Mail program (EXTERNAL.EXE) has a documented switch for a
monochrome display. The Microsoft Mail "Administrator's Guide" references the
-SMONO switch. The online help references an -SM switch. Either switch is
correct and produces identical results.

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

The External Mail program only looks for the first letter after the "-S" switch;
all other letters after that are ignored. For example, -SMaverick has the same
results as -SMono or -SM.

NOTE: Microsoft is aware of the discrepancy between the manual and the online
help. Both switch options are supported and are correct.
