SUMMARY
When you use the Send command in a 32-bit program such as WordPad, one of
the following behaviors may occur:
- If Microsoft Exchange is installed and configured, Microsoft Exchange
starts instead of any installed 16-bit mail program.
- If Microsoft Exchange is not installed, the 16-bit mail program
stops responding (hangs).
- If Microsoft Exchange is installed but not configured, the Microsoft
Exchange Setup Wizard starts.
MORE INFORMATION
The Send command is a function of Simple MAPI. All 32-bit programs call
Mapi32.dll to use Simple MAPI. Mapi32.dll is a Windows 95 system file
that is installed even if Microsoft Exchange is not installed. Because
Mapi32.dll calls only a 32-bit mail program, Microsoft Exchange is
started. It is not currently possible for a 32-bit program to perform a
Send function to a 16-bit mail program.
