SYMPTOMS
========

You may receive the following error message when you try to read an e-form
message created with Microsoft Mail Electronic Forms Designer:

  Invalid Message

CAUSE
=====

This error can occur if the e-form message class declaration is incorrectly
defined in the [Custom Messages] section of the MSMAIL.INI file.

RESOLUTION
==========

For e-form messages to perform correctly, there must be a space between the
<COMMAND> and <MESSAGEID> commands in the message class declaration.
If the space is missing, the above error will occur when the e-form is read. The
following is a correct example:

     IPM.Microsoft.MEFPhone=3.0;;Telephone
     Note;;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MEFLIB.DLL;<MC:IPM.Microsoft.MEFPhone>C:\VB\EF
     MS\PROJECTS\PHONE\MEFPHONE.EXE -MSG <COMMAND> <MESSAGEID>;
     1111111000000000;Microsoft Sample Telephone Note;;;
