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

This update contains MAILMGR.DLL, a replacement for the MAILMGR.DLL file that is
included with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. The replacement file
provides additional enhancements to the original MAILMGR.DLL file.

This replacement file resolves the following problem that can occur when you use
version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows:

- The Check Names function fails to properly resolve partial friendly names and
  returns several selections when a unique resolution is possible. This
  behavior is most obvious when the GAL is selected as the default address list
  and the first and last name of the intended recipient begin with the same
  letter.

  NOTE: To resolve this problem, two .DLL files must be updated: the MAILMGR.DLL
  file (update included in this update) and the MSSFS.DLL file (update included
  in MSSFS.EXE on the MSL).

To download the updated file
----------------------------

The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

servers that prevent any unauthorized changes to the file.

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

To replace your MAILMGR.DLL file
--------------------------------

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

  " copy <path>:\mailmgr.dll <destination> " (without the quotation
  marks)

  where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self
  extracting MAILMGR.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and
  directory where your MAILMGR.DLL file currently resides. For example, if you
  ran the self-extracting file from the TEST directory on drive D, and your
  MAILMGR.DLL file is located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C, type the
  following command:

  " copy d:\test\mailmgr.dll c:\mailexe " (without the quotation marks)

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

  " copy <mailexe>\setup.inf <mailexe>\setupinf.old " (without the
  quotation marks)

  where <mailexe> is the complete path to the directory containing the
  Microsoft Mail for Windows SETUP.EXE program. For example, if SETUP.EXE is
  located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C, type the following command:

  " copy c:\mailexe\setup.inf c:\mailexe\setupinf.old " (without the quotation
  marks)

3. Using any text editor, edit the SETUP.INF file. In the [MSMAIL] section,
  replace the following line

  1, mailmgr.dll,,,, 1993-03-09, !DECOMPRESS,, OLDER, !READONLY,,,,, SHARED,
  51632,,,, 3.2.0.4027,

  with:

  1, mailmgr.dll,,,, 1994-07-21, !DECOMPRESS,, OLDER, !READONLY,,,,, SHARED,
  51696,,,, 3.2.0.4074,

  Save the file and close the text editor.

  NOTE: For these changes to affect the entire network, each existing user must
  run Setup again.
