==========================================================

To install Mailcoach as service.
--------------------------------
1. Start Mailcoach.
2. Under the File-menu, choose "Install as service...", choose OK to install.
3. When you exit Mailcoach, you will be asked if you wish to start this service.
If you choose YES - the service will start. If you choose NO, the service
will remain stopped until your machine is either rebooted - where mailcoach
will start automatically, or until you again start Mailcoach and exit again
- where upon you will be asked whether you wish to start Mailcoach service
again.

To Administrate Mailcoach when running as service
-------------------------------------------------
1. Start Mailcoach from the menu. You will be asked if you wish to move
Mailcoach from running as service to be running in visible state instead
- which will allow administration. Choose YES to administrate or NO to
cancel the operation.
2. When finished with your administrative work - exit Mailcoach and you will
again be asked if you wish to start Mailcoach as service. Choose YES to
start as service or NO - if you don't want Mailcoach to run at all.

To Uninstall Mailcoach service
------------------------------
1. Start Mailcoach.
2. Choose YES to stop service.
3. Under the File-menu, choose "UnInstall service...",
choose OK to Uninstall.

Part3 Fixed bugs in SR5 (V2.25)
-------------------------------
- The first entry in the aliaslist was never checked against the
userdatabase, thus a collission could occure.
- When adding aliases to the aliaslist, no check was performed whether
a name was already in the list.
- Adding a name containing dots in the namepart to the distributionlist
was not accepted by Mailcoach.
- When using UUCP via TCP/IP and the remote host issued a TCP/IP
software reset - Mailcoach could get caught in a infinite loop. If
Mailcoach was operating minimized or as service this error would
effectively hung Mailcoach.
- 't' protocol didn't always show the filname of the file beeing transferred.
- When installed with English language and "return mail to sender" - options
set to only include header, no message would be included in the
returned mail.
- When Mailcoach was installed as service it could, in some cases,
fail to start at startup and a message in NT event-log would show
that it was because Mailcoach failed to answer in time (12000 ms).
- Swedish version only: The Received: by" line in the header contained
swedished names of month and days which got missinterpreted by mail
clients.
- The line "Received: by...." is always added by each step in a distribution
chain, and also by Mailcoach, however, because of a bug - short mails
never got this "received" line.
- If using several domains: If mail to any of the domains became
undeliverable, a copy was sent to the postmaster in the default domain
instead of the postmaster for that actual domain.
- Added command line parameter /RAS which forces use of RAS instead of
choosing available connection.
- The Smtpserver did not check mail correctly for bad recipient adressing,
which caused the delivery routines to treat the mail as incomplete and
move it away without informing the sender or postmaster.
- When a mail was adressed to two or more accounts in mailcoach and
distribution routes or forwarding resulted in that a user would get two
copies, Mailcoach would remove one copy and produce a message like this
"Mail ID already existed in user mailbox"
