-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The following is the text of the README.TXT file from the Microsoft Mail Gateway
to MHS.

This document supplements the information in version 3.0 of Microsoft Mail
Gateway to MHS "Administrator's Guide" and covers the following topics:

- Exchanging mail with WordPerfect Office users.

- Leading and trailing spaces in extended portion of an MHS address.

- Sending attachments from the Microsoft Mail Macintosh client.

EXCHANGING MAIL WITH WORDPERFECT OFFICE USERS
---------------------------------------------

WordPerfect Office users can address MS Mail users in one of two ways:

- Simple addressing

- Extended addressing

Below is a brief description of each of these addressing methods and when they
can be used.

Simple Addressing
-----------------

To address a MS Mail user on the gateway postoffice, a WordPerfect office user
can use the simple addressing syntax:

  Route:MHS:Foreign:Gate:Mailbox

where:

  Route - is the local WordPerfect Office System Routing
  MHS - is the WordPerfect MHS connection Host Name
  Foreign - is the conversion type indicator
  Gate - is the gateway name
  Mailbox - is the MS Mail Mailbox name

Extended Addressing
-------------------

To address a MS Mail user on a downstream postoffice or a gateway postoffice, a
WordPerfect office user can use the extended addressing syntax:

  Route:MHS:Foreign:"Host{extended address}":Mailbox

where:

  Route - is the local WordPerfect Office System Routing
  MHS - is the WordPerfect MHS connection Host Name
  Foreign - is the conversion type indicator
  Host - is the destination MHS Host/Gateway
  {Extended Address} - is the MS Mail recipient's address
  Mailbox - is the MS Mail recipient's Mailbox

LEADING AND TRAILING SPACES IN EXTENDED PORTION OF AN MHS ADDRESS
-----------------------------------------------------------------

When using "Full Extended Addressing" OR "Concise Extended Addressing," ensure
that you do NOT have leading AND/OR trailing blanks in the extended portion of
the MHS address.

Example:

  Valid address - USER@GATEWAY {NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/MAILBOX}
  Invalid address - USER@GATEWAY { NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/MAILBOX }

SENDING ATTACHMENTS FROM THE MICROSOFT MAIL MACINTOSH CLIENT
------------------------------------------------------------

You should use the "PC format" option available in the Microsoft Mail Macintosh
client when including attachments in a message that have MHS recipients.
