If you send one or more enclosures with a message using version 3.0, 3.0b, or

Networks workstation, an extra attachment with the name WINMAIL.DAT appears. The
system may hang while trying to save this file even though it should not be
saved; it is used by Mail for Windows only as a resource file.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 of
Microsoft Mail for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new
