EXCHANGING MAIL WITH WORDPERFECT OFFICE USERS
WordPerfect Office users can address MS Mail users in one of two ways:
- Simple addressing
- Extended addressing
Below is a brief description of each of these addressing methods and when
they can be used.
Simple Addressing
To address a MS Mail user on the gateway postoffice, a WordPerfect office
user can use the simple addressing syntax:
Route:MHS:Foreign:Gate:Mailbox
where:
Route - is the local WordPerfect Office System Routing
MHS - is the WordPerfect MHS connection Host Name
Foreign - is the conversion type indicator
Gate - is the gateway name
Mailbox - is the MS Mail Mailbox name
Extended Addressing
To address a MS Mail user on a downstream postoffice or a gateway
postoffice, a WordPerfect office user can use the extended addressing
syntax:
Route:MHS:Foreign:"Host{extended address}":Mailbox
where:
Route - is the local WordPerfect Office System Routing
MHS - is the WordPerfect MHS connection Host Name
Foreign - is the conversion type indicator
Host - is the destination MHS Host/Gateway
{Extended Address} - is the MS Mail recipient's address
Mailbox - is the MS Mail recipient's Mailbox
LEADING AND TRAILING SPACES IN EXTENDED PORTION OF AN MHS ADDRESS
When using "Full Extended Addressing" OR "Concise Extended Addressing,"
ensure that you do NOT have leading AND/OR trailing blanks in the extended
portion of the MHS address.
Example:
Valid address - USER@GATEWAY {NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/MAILBOX}
Invalid address - USER@GATEWAY { NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/MAILBOX }
SENDING ATTACHMENTS FROM THE MICROSOFT MAIL MACINTOSH CLIENT
You should use the "PC format" option available in the Microsoft Mail
Macintosh client when including attachments in a message that have MHS
recipients.
