SYMPTOMS
When you send a message created using a Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer E-form through the Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP, the message may not be transferred as expected.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the -HA command-line parameter is not passed to the SMTPGATE program.

The SMTPGATE program -HA command-line option exposes the hidden attachments generated by the Microsoft Mail system. These attachments contain information about Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) objects and custom message types (WINMAIL.DAT). When this -HA parameter is not specified, the default is to remove these attachments when the message is converted to SMTP format.



RESOLUTION
Because E-forms are defined by custom message types, this information must be present for forms to perform properly. To ensure that all message information is transferred, you must pass the -HA parameter to the SMTPGATE program.
