SUMMARY
=======

When you create custom menus, you may get a duplicated entry in the menu
listing, as well as a missing entry.

The MSMAIL.INI and SHARED.INI files require the following syntax:

  Tag=Mail version;[Menu Name]; [Command Name];...

If, when defining a menu, you use the same Tag, it will be repeated in the menu
listing.

MORE INFORMATION
================

A example of duplicate entries is:

  [Custom commands]
  MyCommand=3.0;File;&Run Notepad;0;appexec.dll;notepad; ...
  MyCommand=3.0;File;&Run Calculator;0;appexec.dll;calc; ...

This will place Run Notepad under the File menu twice because the tag is not
unique.

An example of correct entries is:

  [Custom commands]
  MyCommand1=3.0;File;&Run Notepad;0;appexec.dll;notepad; ...
  MyCommand2=3.0;File;&Run Calculator;0;appexec.dll;calc; ...
