156.0. "Problems with Wordperfect attachments from PC" by SUOSW4::SUOGS1::moog (UteMoog) Thu Dec 10 1992 18:35

Hi out there,

as Teamlinks and DEC mailworks for Windows are marching towards my MEMO users, I have a  
question.

It happened to one of our cutsomers, that sending a Wordperfect attachment from 
DECMailworks (PC) caused the MEMO gateway to hang (this is reproduceable) ?
Is this a thing that will happen with any Stream-files (like Winword,LOTUS,EXCEL etc) ?

Might it be the same problem that happens when sending binary files from MEMO (described 
some entries before) ?



Thanks Ute

    Yes. MRMEMO does not cope well with DECBODY7 attachments that are not
    DDIF.
    
    Have you considered implementing Mailbus Conversion Manager (MCM) ?
    This tool will give you automatic conversion of any document format
    *before* it reaches MRMEMO. It is not cheap but IMO worth the price.
    Look in TAMDNO::MSG_SOLUTIONS or send mail to Messaging Practice @ MEL

    Actually .1 is slightly faulty. A more correct statement can be found in
    161.4
    
    It's still a good idea to implement MCM though. This will give
    conversion of Word processing formats that MRMEMO will strip off in its
    current version.
