(1):
Due to a limitation in the combination of REXX and CMD.EXE, long path names
can cause certain functions to fail, in particular the creation of the
RexxMail toolbars and the application of folder background bitmaps. In the
event of such errors occurring, reduce the length of the path name of both
the RexxMail program directory and the user mail folders.
So, "D:\RexxMail" is preferable to "D:\Programs\Internet\Mail\RexxMail".
