Name Finder Fails If Space Before Name
95731

In version 3.0 or 3.0b of Microsoft Mail for Windows, if the friendly name is defined as [space]Name or [space]LastName,[space]FirstName, the name appears at the top of the address list, but using Name Finder to search for that name fails.

Extended Characters Not Supported in .MMF Filename
104029

Extended characters are not supported in .MMF filenames in the following areas of versions 3.0 and 3.0b of Microsoft Mail for Windows:
 * The Backup command on the Mail menu.
 * The Open Message File dialog box. (You can enter an .MMF filename with extended characters, or select an .MMF filename with extended characters from the list box, but Mail cannot open the .MMF file.)
 * Mail invoked with the /f parameter (that is, MSMAIL /F NAME.MMF, where NAME.MMF is a filename with extended characters). In this case, Mail cannot open the .MMF file.

GP Fault During Setup When Installing Only Spelling
104106

If you specify the Custom Install option during the Setup process of version 3.0 or 3.0b of Microsoft Mail for Windows, and you choose to install only the spelling drivers, the following error occurs:

Could not open the file named: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\TRNSCHED.DLL

Choose Abort and click Yes to exit. Re-run SETUP.EXE.

This error results in a general protection (GP) fault in MSCOMSTF.DLL @002D:001A.

Import/Export Does Not Work with Extended Characters
104130

Version 3.0b of Microsoft Mail for Windows does not correctly import or export a folder with an extended character (such as the letter O with two dots above it) in the filename. The folder appears to be saved correctly, but the filename is not converted properly.

Send Mail Command Doesn't Support Extended Characters
104134

Versions 3.0 and 3.0b of Microsoft Mail for Windows do not support sending files with extended characters in the filename through the Windows 3.0 or 3.1 File Manager.

Failure to Connect to SHARED.INI Skips MSMAIL.INI
105961

In versions 3.0 and 3.0b of Microsoft Mail for Windows, if you start up Mail offline (not on the network) with the Mail message file (MMF) stored locally, no shared extensions commands are available if the SHARED.INI file cannot be found.

Err Msg: Mail System Error. Mail Could Not Read...
107756

In versions 3.0 and 3.0b of Microsoft Mail for Windows, you may receive an unreadable message. The header information is correct (To: From: and Subject: fields) but the text indicates a MAIL SYSTEM ERROR. The error message states:

Mail could not read the entire message from the postoffice. Some parts of the message may be missing. Ask the sender to resend the message.
