MORE INFORMATION

This update contains MAILMGR.DLL, a replacement for the MAILMGR.DLL file that is included with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. The replacement file provides additional enhancements to the original MAILMGR.DLL file.

This replacement file resolves the following problem that can occur when you use version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows:

The Check Names function fails to properly resolve partial friendly names and returns several selections when a unique resolution is possible. This behavior is most obvious when the GAL is selected as the default address list and the first and last name of the intended recipient begin with the same letter.
NOTE: To resolve this problem, two .DLL files must be updated: the MAILMGR.DLL file (update included in this update) and the MSSFS.DLL file (update included in MSSFS.EXE on the MSL).

To replace your MAILMGR.DLL file

At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER
```
      copy <path>:\mailmgr.dll <destination>
```
where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self- extracting MAILMGR.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and directory where your MAILMGR.DLL file currently resides. For example, if you ran the self-extracting file from the TEST directory on drive D, and your MAILMGR.DLL file is located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C, type the following command:
```
      copy d:\test\mailmgr.dll c:\mailexe
```
At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER
```
      copy <mailexe>\setup.inf <mailexe>\setupinf.old
```
where <mailexe> is the complete path to the directory containing the Microsoft Mail for Windows SETUP.EXE program. For example, if SETUP.EXE is located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C, type the following command:
```
      copy c:\mailexe\setup.inf c:\mailexe\setupinf.old
```
Using any text editor, edit the SETUP.INF file. In the [MSMAIL] section, replace the following line
```
      1, mailmgr.dll,,,, 1993-03-09, !DECOMPRESS,, OLDER,
      !READONLY,,,,, SHARED, 51632,,,, 3.2.0.4027,
```
with:
```
      1, mailmgr.dll,,,, 1994-07-21, !DECOMPRESS,, OLDER,
      !READONLY,,,,, SHARED, 51696,,,, 3.2.0.4074,
```
Save the file and close the text editor.
NOTE: For these changes to affect the entire network, each existing user must run Setup again.
