If you use the MailMan option for transferring VistA email messages via
disk/tape to another site, you will have problems if the SEND field
setting for the TAPE entry in the Communications Protocol file is wrong.
The SEND field for the TAPE entry must be set to:
SEND: W XMSG,! ; S XMTRAN="S: "_XMSG D TRAN^XMC1
==
!! A T T E N T I O N !!
Most of the entries we have found for this don't have the ",!" following
the "W XMS". Without the ",!" you don't get the line feed at the end of
each line. This causes a buffer overflow when you try to receive the
message. Please look at your entry, and edit, if necessary:
Using FileMan:
Select OPTION: ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES
=====
INPUT TO WHAT FILE: COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL// <press enter>
You must manually CHECK an entry in the
EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL// SEND
