2.10 MS-DOS

= SYMPTOMS =

In version 2.1 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, the External Mail program truncates or loses large messages, sometimes returning only the subject field of the header.

= CAUSE =

The computer running the External Mail program does not have enough available conventional memory space to handle the message.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 2.1 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. This problem was corrected in version 3.0, so that too-large messages are returned to the sender.
