Hi,

	I have worked on a project that was concerned specifically with 
	Exchange and an ICL OfficePower implementation.  We used MAILbus400
	to connect the two systems and used third party converters produced
	by MasterSoft (Now owned by Adobe I think) within the MTA to
	perform any neccessary bodypart conversion (Word <-> OfficePower)
	automatically.

	Now users can send Word documents from Exchange and it gets delivered
	to the OfficePower users in the correct format.

	Be aware that Exchange uses FTBP and the ICL MTA uses '88 messaging
	in an '84 envelope when I worked with it about 10 months ago.  If
	Grahame's reply is correct (-.1), then the situation may be different
	so you first need to find out if the ICL MTA now _fully_ supports
	'88 envelope and content or even FTBP '92.

	I would be surprised if the ICL MTA had changed that much as the 
	customer is still using the MAILbus400 MTA to perform bodypart/
	FTBP conversions and I think they have the latest ICL OfficePower
	implementation, but you would need to check first.
