MORE INFORMATION
================

After you obtain the above fix, add the following registry value in the
registry.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that
problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use
Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And
Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete
Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in
Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If
you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk
(ERD).

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

2. Locate the following key in the registry:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeCCMC
     \Parameters

   NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.

3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry
   value:

      Value Name: Use long filename
      Data Type:  REG_DWORD
      Value:      1

   NOTE: If the registry value is set to 1, the Exchange Connector for Lotus
   cc:Mail will send the attachment with a long file name to the cc:Mail
   postoffice. If the registry value is set to 0 or does not exist, the cc:Mail
   Connector will send the attachment with an 8.3 format file name to the
   cc:Mail postoffice.

4. Quit Registry Editor.
