The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS
========

When you run Sectool.exe on messages converted from a PC Mail 3.2 MMF, it wipes
out all information in the body of the message.


RESOLUTION
==========

1. Upgrade PC mail to version 3.5.

2. Move all mail to the PC Mail server.

3. Delete the .mmf file.

4. Create a new .mmf file.

5. Export the .mmf to Microsoft Exchange.

6. Run Sectool.exe.

NOTE: Do not simply upgrade a version 3.2 .mmf to version 3.5. This will not fix
the problem.
