SUMMARY
The mail message (.MAI) file format in Microsoft Mail versions 2.1 and 3.0
is based on the Federal Information Processing Systems (FIPS) message
format described in FIPS PUB 98. This format is a subset of the CCITT X.400
standard for interpersonal messaging.
FIPS refers to the format used to store the raw data files. Vendor-defined
