SYMPTOMS
========
When you read a custom message that was sent via a gateway in version 3.0, 3.0b,
or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows, the custom message class may not be
preserved and the message will display in standard note form. This problem can
occur when a message of a custom message class is sent through a
nonencapsulating gateway.
CAUSE
=====
Custom message classes that are defined without a text map are not preserved
when they are sent through nonencapsulating gateways. The message will arrive
with the custom message type incorrectly reset to:
IPM.Microsoft Mail.Note
This problem can occur when mail is sent in one of the following scenarios:
1. A custom message type is sent from a user running on one type of mail system
through a nonencapsulating gateway to a user on a different type of mail
system (for example, Mail for PC Networks to MCI Mail).
2. A custom message type is sent from a user on a specific mail system to a user
on the same kind of mail system through a foreign mail system whose gateways
do not support encapsulation (for example, Mail for PC Networks through MCI
Mail to Mail for PC Networks).

Microsoft Mail for Windows. This problem was corrected in MSSFS.DLL, version
