Setting up the WFWG Client

An additional setup program called SETUP16.EXE is provided with the WIG product. You will find it in the WIG16 directory included in the WIG directory. Run the setup 16.exe to install the MS Mail Internet Gateway.

Running this setup program on a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 client PC will enable the MS Mail client on that machine to send and receive Internet mail

When you run the program, you will be greeted with the following dialog box:

MS Mail Internet Gateway

Press Continue. The MS Mail extension DLL will be copied to your computer and the MSMAIL.INI file in your Windows directory will be modified to load the DLL when MS Mail starts up.

When the setup program has successfully completed, try running up MS Mail under Windows for Workgroups and try sending a message to an Internet address. When you send the message, the MS Mail extension will recognise that the addressee is an Internet mail addressee and will repackage the mail message, such that it gets sent to the INTERNET mailbox, but embeds the addressee information in the body of the message. WIG will extract this information and rewrite the body as you originally intended it.
