“Mail” vs “Mail and Fax” icon in Control

by lmike . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

How can a “Mail” application in Control Panel
be converted to a “Mail and Fax” application
(I’ve tried the obvious, such as installing fax
services) to remedy the following problem?

Some of my Win95 systems have a “Mail”
icon in Control Panelwhile others have a “Mail
and Fax” icon. Of note is that there is no
“Windows Messaging” option in Add/Remove
Programs under the Windows Setup tab.

When in an application such as Excel or Word
and attempting to generate an e-mail with the
current document as an attachment using the
“Send” option on the File menu, those systems
that have the “Mail” icon get an error: “T he
form required to view this message cannot be
displayed”. Those with the “Mail and Fax” icon
work just fine; the blank e-mail message
comes up with the document attached.

This is in a Netware 5 environment with
GroupWise 5.5. and both the “a” and “B”
versions of Windows 95.

Of course, I would also like to know what I did
to cause this difference in the systems
