MACINTOSH

Summary:

When using HyperCard version 1.2.2 or later, chime notification from Microsoft Mail causes the Macintosh to beep continuously. To stop the continuous beep, quit out of HyperCard.

This problem does not occur with earlier versions of HyperCard; however, the Microsoft Mail Form Designer and HyperCard API (HAPI) supports only HyperCard version 1.2.2 or later.

This problem can also occur when using After Dark version 2.0. If a Mail message arrives and chime notification is turned on, the chime can turn into a continuous beep.

To avoid the above problems, make sure the Sound Chime option button is not selected in the Mail Preferences dialog box.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Mail versions 2.0, 2.0a, and 2.0b. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Mail version 3.0.
