SUMMARY
=======

All Microsoft Mail gateways use the File Format Application Programming
Interface (FFAPI) to extract mail items from the database and insert mail items
into the database.

For incoming messages from a foreign system, the gateway processes the mail items
and spawns *PUT.EXE to insert the mail items in the mail database.

For outgoing messages, the gateway spawns *GET.EXE to extract the mail items from
the mail database, processes the mail items, and transmits them to the foreign
system.
