We are migrating from a HP OpenDesk email postoffice on an HP3000 using a
NewWave PC client to a MS Mail postoffice and a MS Mail PC client.  This
migration will take us about a year and during this time we need the two
post offices to pass mail back and forth.  HP recommended that we use a
HP OpenMail/X.400 gateway between the two machines.  However, in test we
found out that we could not pass NewWave objects through the MS Mail
postoffice to the MS Mail PC client because MS X.400 that is used by MS
Mail cannot handle NewWave objects.  In fact, it doesn't seem to be able
to tell the difference between binaries at all.  Text transfers ok but
binary files such as MSWord and Excel do not.
 
So we are looking for some kind of gateway that will let a NewWave Mail
user send a NewWave Excel object through the MS Mail postoffice, unpack
it into an Excel binary file, and display it as an Excel icon in the
user's MSMail mailbox.  And do the reverse for an MS Mail user.  An Excel
binary file sent to HP OpenDesk must be packaged into a NewWave Excel
object and arrive in this form in the NewWave mail user's mailbox.
 
Thanks in advance...Gary Schmidt
