When I try to send a folder as an attachment to a Microsoft Exchange e-mail

receive an error message stating:

  The item could not be displayed. The file could not be opened.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Windows 95
Explorer. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
