3845.0. "VMSmail to ALL-IN-1 with WordPerfect" by TROOA::TROTTI (VAX..more than just a vacuum cleaner) Wed Feb 02 1994 19:55

    I am trying to send a WordPerfect Document from VMSmail to ALL-IN-1 IOS
    with WordPerfect Integrated.  
    
    The WordPerfect document was created on the VAX with WordPerfect for
    VMS.  Then I used the following syntax to send it off to ALL-IN-1:
    		
    $ MAIL filename.WPC	MRGATE::A1::a1username/SUBJECT="blah blah blah"
    
    The Problem is when I read it on then ALL-IN-1 side I get alot of
    backwards question marks around the message.  
    
    WordPerfect Corp. says it is supposed to work.  Any Ideas.
    
    BTW. It works fine in the reverse order going through WordPerfect's
    "WPC" mailbox.

3845.1	Why not?	AIMTEC::WICKS_A	Atlanta's Most (In)famous Welshman	`Thu Feb 03 1994 02:16`	7
	Not that I do any editor other than EDT but what happens if you just GOLD GET the document from within ALL-IN-1? and avoid MRGATE altogether. regards, Andrew.D.Wicks
3845.2	Another way?	FORTY2::ASH	Mail Interchange Group, Reading	`Thu Feb 03 1994 12:46`	3
	Does it work if you try send/foreign from MAIL? g
3845.3	Does ALL-IN-1 know that it's a Wordperfect document?	IOSG::MARSHALL	When you've got a widget, you don't need gimmicks	`Thu Feb 03 1994 14:15`	10
	What is the data type and handling on the message in the ALL-IN-1 filr cabinet (you can see with SH)? It sounds like ALL-IN-1 thinks it's just a plain text file, and is displaying all the WordPerfect control info in the file as ASCII characters, hence the funny question marks, etc. This would mean either VMSmail or MRGATE is losing the fact that it's a Wordperfect document; I don't know how you'd fix that, you'd have to ask in those products' support forums.

3845.4	Use @WPC both ways!	BRUMMY::MARTIN::BELL	Martin Bell, NETCC, Birmingham UK	`Mon Feb 07 1994 08:57`	8
	Why not force the document through the WPC gateway when going to ALL-IN-1, i.e. $ MAIL filename.WPC MRGATE::WPC::A1::a1username/SUBJECT="blah blah blah" and ensure that the correct translations are inserted in the WPC database. mb
