The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP 3.0

This article was previously published under Q87039

SUMMARY

Message Encapsulation is the process Microsoft Mail uses to send mail transparently from one Microsoft Mail postoffice through a gateway (for example, SMTP) to another Microsoft Mail postoffice. This means that when the user receives the mail message, it is indistinguishable from other Microsoft Mail messages--all heading fields (TO, CC, SUBJECT, PRIORITY, and ATTACHMENTS) are preserved.
