This replacement file provides additional enhancements to the original MSMAIL.EXE file, which resolve the following problems: - When an open custom message is deleted from a shared folder, the message header still appears in the folder. Trying to open the message again results in the error "The message cannot be accessed." - You cannot do a Reply, Reply All, or Forward on a custom message that is located in a shared folder. NOTE: For this problem to be resolved, two files must be updated: the MSMAIL.EXE file (included in this Application Note) and the MAPI.DLL file (included in Application Note WA0729). To replace your MSMAIL.EXE file ------------------------------- 1. Insert the enclosed WA0889 disk in your floppy disk drive. 2. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER copy :\msmail.exe where is the floppy disk drive containing the WA0889 disk and is the drive and directory where your MSMAIL.EXE file currently resides. For example, if MSMAIL.EXE is located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C and the WA0889 disk is in drive A, type the following command: copy a:\msmail.exe c:\mailexe A message will be displayed stating: 1 file(s) copied. This indicates that your MSMAIL.EXE file has been successfully replaced. 3. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER copy \setup.inf \setupinf.old where 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 A message will be displayed stating: 1 file(s) copied. This indicates that your SETUP.INF file has been successfully copied. 4. Using any text editor, edit the SETUP.INF file. In the [MsMail Prog] section, replace the following line "00" = 1, msmail.exe,,,, 1993-03-09, !DECOMPRESS,, OLDER, !READONLY,,,,,, 299904,,,, 3.2.0.4027, with: "00" = 1, msmail.exe,,,, 1993-05-26, !DECOMPRESS,, OLDER, !READONLY,,,,,, 300480,,,, 3.2.0.4037, Save the file and close the text editor. NOTE: For these changes to affect the entire network, each existing user must run Setup again.
