PC DOS: Attachments Save to Root with Monitor 3.0b (119087)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.0b, when used with:
- the operating system: MS-DOS

This article was previously published under Q119087

SYMPTOMS

When you use the memory-resident Monitor program (MONITOR.COM) version 3.0b, which is provided with the MS-DOS workstation of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, to read and save an attachment using the Attachments-Save option, the attachment saves to the root directory instead of to the path you specify.

This problem occurs only with Monitor version 3.0b; it does not occur with Monitor version 3.0.

RESOLUTION

To avoid this problem, use Monitor version 3.0.

Monitor versions 3.0 and 3.0b have the following file sizes and dates:

                         File Size    Date
------------------------------------------
Monitor version 3.0b     65692        9/92
Monitor version 3.0      65756        6/92

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, version 3.0b. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
