SYMPTOMS
When a message composed using the Send Fax Wizard contains attachments
with long file names, the attachments are not converted to short file
names when they are received by a Windows 3.x Microsoft Mail client. If
you double-click such an attachment in the Microsoft Mail client, you
receive a message stating that the file is not associated with a program.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, save the attachment in the Microsoft Mail
client to an appropriate short file name with the correct extension. You
can then open the attachment using the short file name.
Note that you may also experience the problem described in the following

STATUS

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
