SUMMARY
The HyperCard Software Developers Kit's external function (XFCN) resource for Microsoft Mail version 2.0 does not work with Mail version 3.0. All HyperCard stacks created with version 2.0 of the Mail Interface Document stack must be updated with the 3.0 version of this document stack, which is included on the Extras Disk that ships with Mail 3.0.



MORE INFORMATION
To update an existing stack:


 * 1) Open the Mail Interface Document stack in the Extras Disk.
 * 2) Select Installing from the list of topics.
 * 3) Click the Install Interface button.
 * 4) Select the stack to be updated and click the Open button.
 * 5) A warning message will appear: &quot;Some resources which you are attempting to add already exist in the destination file. Would you like to replace them?&quot; Click OK. This installs the new XFCN resource over the old one.

NOTE: The version 3.0 HyperCard Software Developers Kit's XFCN resource has many new and expanded features. Three functions were updated in a way that might not be completely compatible with the old version. Check scripts for GetEnclosure, GetField, and RemoveField commands. The Mail Interface Document stack has more information on how these functions changed.
