PC Win: MMF Recovery Can Cause Missing Message Body (113164)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.0b
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.2
This article was previously published under Q113164 SYMPTOMS
The Mail message file (MMF) Recovery utility built into versions 3.0b and
3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows causes messages that have been copied to
multiple folders to lose their message bodies, including any attachments. A
copy of the message with the text intact will be saved in the "Lost and
Found" folder created by the recovery process; however, all attachments
will be lost.
CAUSE
This is by design; the loss of these attachments is due to the structure of
the .MMF file. You should only use the MMF Recovery utility if .MMF file
corruption is evident. The utility is not designed to be used on working
.MMF files that exhibit no signs of corruption.
