Send Command from 32-Bit Program Starts Only MS Exchange

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 95

SUMMARY

When you use the Send command in a 32-bit program such as WordPad, one of the following behaviors may occur:

  • If Microsoft Exchange is installed and configured, Microsoft Exchange starts instead of any installed 16-bit mail program.
  • If Microsoft Exchange is not installed, the 16-bit mail program stops responding (hangs).
  • If Microsoft Exchange is installed but not configured, the Microsoft Exchange Setup Wizard starts.

MORE INFORMATION

The Send command is a function of Simple MAPI. All 32-bit programs call Mapi32.dll to use Simple MAPI. Mapi32.dll is a Windows 95 system file that is installed even if Microsoft Exchange is not installed. Because Mapi32.dll calls only a 32-bit mail program, Microsoft Exchange is started. It is not currently possible for a 32-bit program to perform a Send function to a 16-bit mail program.
