The above message was generated by your e-mail client because it knew 
that the VCF card attachment could not be read by many of the popular 
E-mail clients and mailing list programs in use.

Too bad it does not put that message up as a dialog box before it sends 
the E-mail so that people will realize what it is doing.


It is a bit misleading because it makes it look like the problem is on 
the receiving end instead of the sending end.

For mailing lists, newsgroups, and external business E-mails, plain text 
  with no attachments of any kind is the only format that will be 
reliably delivered.

$x = %x00f00040
$show sym x
   X = 15728704    HEX = 00F000040   Octal = 00074000100

$z = x / %o200000
$show sym z
   Z = 240 Octal = 360

The UIC that it is attempting to use is [360, 100]

This probably corresponds to UIC for what ever the SAMBA GUEST account 
is set to.

I have never run SAMBA 2.0.3, but from running SAMBA 2.0.6 on OpenVMS, 
it was discovered that Windows NT requires that the SAMBA GUEST account 
is configured.  It needs to make a brief connection using the Guest 
Account before connecting as the named user.

This guest account must also have a valid default directory that SAMBA 
will temporarily set it's default to.

This is showing up as a FAQ on this list.  Is something wrong with the 
SAMBA 2.0.3 installation where this account is not verified or created?


SAMBA 2.0.6 by default uses an account SAMBA__GUEST that is dedicated to 
SAMBA for this use.
