SUMMARY
This article lists and describes all the entries in the Microsoft Mail for Windows private profile, MSMAIL.INI, that are contained in the [Custom Menus] section.

[Custom Menus]

This section may contain any number of entries (within reason). Each entry specifies a menu name to be added to the Mail menu bar. You can use these menus to group custom commands and/or messages under a single, distinctive menu item. This section may appear both in the usual location, MSMAIL.INI in your Windows directory, and in SHARED.INI in the directory pointed to by the SharedExtensionsDir entry of MSMAIL.INI. Below is a synopsis of the custom command entry format, followed by two examples. A description of each subfield follows. Each entry must occupy a single line. Many subfields are optional.

Custom Command Entry Format
