SUMMARY
The LinkAge or Soft*Switch SNADS Gateway sends each Microsoft Mail attachment as a separate message. This can cause multiple messages if you send a Microsoft Mail loopback message--one sent through the gateway and routed back to the sender, or sent to another Microsoft Mail user on the other end of the SNADS Gateway.

If you send a loopback message from the Windows client with two attachments, you receive four messages: two with one attachment each, one with the WINMAIL.DAT attachment, and the fourth with the message body.

If you send a loopback message with one OLE object, you receive two messages: one with the OLE object, the other with the message body.

If you send a loopback message with two OLE objects, you receive two messages: one with both OLE objects, the other with the message body.
