Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit (SDK) for HyperCard, versions 2.0

SUMMARY

HyperCard version 2.0 contains new features that are incompatible with the Microsoft Mail HyperCard Software Development Kit (SDK) version 2.0. The HyperCard SDK for Mail version 2.00 is fully compatible with HyperCard versions 1.2.x.

The following compatibility problems may be encountered between the Mail HyperCard SDK and HyperCard version 2.0:

Either of the following commands: msmail(DisplayMessageCenter) or msmail(DisplayAddressScreen) will cause a System error to occur. To work around this problem, use the msmail(GetUserList) command to access the user list and then use the Ask command to select the user. This in effect simulates the Address Mail window.
When the Mail HyperCard SDK is used with beta versions of HyperCard version 2.0, the Msmail() command works only the first time it is called. All subsequent calls are ignored.

To correct this problem, use a retail version of HyperCard.
