961.0. "Relation of IOSmail and MAILworks" by TKOV51::TANAKA () Tue Jun 30 1992 03:59

Hi,

I'm trying to use both MAILworks and IOS mail(V2.4).
I sent a MAILworks mail whitch was attached one file written by MS-WORD 
on PC to IOS mail user. 
IOS mail user opened that, but couldn't read attached file. Next he saved 
attached file in other folder. He typed "FULLDB" function. 

	Handring : MS WORD 
		   ^^^^^^^^
Against expectation, "Handling attribute" of this file was "MS WORD".

Of course, I expected this field would be spaces. There isn't "MS WORD" 
in Format Master File.
Why was this file added the "Handring attribute" of "MS WORD" ?

Are there any protocols for handling between MAILworks and IOSmail ?

If the other applications can do the same thing, I can propose to use both 
MAILworks and IOSmail on the same system at the same time.

Please teach me.


P.S. I wrote about this in WINDOWS_OFFICES note.

    I am not sure but I BELIEVE that KeyPak can add a Handling for MS WORD
    to ALL-IN-1 IOS.  I believe that this one way to effect the linkage
    between MAILworks and ALL-IN-1 IOS in the environment which you
    describe.

    You might want to check the KeyPak conference if no one else can give a
    better idea here.  The conference is at NUTMEG::KEYPAK.  This probably
    means that it is mostly marketing information but someone there might
    be helpful.

    I'll add a pointer to this reply so you can press SELECT or KP7 to add
    the KeyPak to your notebook.

    Have fun,

961.2Anyone added ?TKOV51::TANAKATue Jun 30 1992 11:2513
    Hi,

    In order to read MS WORD file, I understood I need to use KeyPak.
    But I don't understand who added "Handring Attribute" 
    for MS WORD File.
    Message Router ? Fetcher ? MAILworks ?
    If I use the other applications such as ICHITARO which support only 
    Japanese, can I get the same result as I use MS WORD file ?

    Teach me again.

    	I think you will find that it was MAILworks that put MS WORD
    	in the handling attribute. I don't know for certain, but that
    	seems to be the only software in the chain that actually KNOWS
    	its MS Word format. It does this so that it knows what the
    	format is when you try and process the message later.
