Is the customer looking for specific features, or just inquiring?

We just started shipping Mail V2.6 (English) at the end of February. We're 
now working on a Mail V2.6 ECO 1 to fix some Mac OS 7.6 incompatibilities.

Remainder is Company Confidential -  We're also trying to find a way to 
localize Mail V2.6 ECO 1 (for less money than the product is projected to 
generate). Then we'll probably release a new TeamLinks Office kit with Mail 
V2.6 ECO 1 and any changes required to make the other Office components work 
under Mac OS 7.6. Then we'll probably decide just what new features and bug 
fixes will go into V2.7. Then we'll look at what resources are available to 
do the required work. Then someone will decide if we will localize V2.7. 
Then we'll develop a schedule.

    Hello Lee,
    
    Thanks for your information. The customer was just inquiring because he
    will upgrade his Teamlinks Windows V2.5 clients to V2.7 and he was 
    wondering if also for TeamLinks Macintosh V2.7 is available.
    
    Regards,
    Manuela

Note that TeamLinks Mail for Mac V2.6 provides the RTF read/create-message 
capability required to exchange RTF messages with TeamLinks Mail for Windows 
V2.7.

ABBOTT::TL_MAC$KITS:TLM026.SEA_HQX is a binhex'd self-extracting archive. 
Stuffit Expander can be used to expand the file into the mail kit after the 
file has been copied to a Mac.

This kit is for Digital internal use only - not to be given to customers.

This software is known to have problems running under Mac OS 7.6. Those 
problems include, but are not necessarily limited to:

o a TeamLinks Mail Notifier (control panel) crash (usually at startup; 
workaround: move the control panel to the "Control Panels (disabled) folder, 
thereby preventing loading of the control panel, and disabling new mail 
notification);

o a crash when using TeamLinks File Cabinet Access (when changing the 
password; workaround: don't do that, or don't use File Cabinet Access);

o a possible crash running the Mail application (under investigation; not 
understood fully, no workaround offered).

A future ECO will probably be required to address these Mac OS 7.6-related 
problems. There is currently no schedule in place to deliver that ECO (we 
don't yet understand the problems).

There also seems to be a problem interoperating with TeamLinks Routing. This 
problem is not related to Mac OS 7.6 - apparently a result of some change 
made to TeamLinks Mail. No known workaround, likely to be fixed in a Mail 
ECO and/or an updated TeamLinks Office kit.

This kit is (American) English. There are presently no local language 
variants available.
