Hi, there, 

Can anyone tell me if the MAPI parser is finally made 
to work or not? I have the latest version of Ethereal
and when I use it to display captured Exchange packets, 
it only parses up to the RPC header and all Exchange contents
are shown as "stub data"? 

Any info is appreciated? 

Cresley

It is.

There's also a deficiency in the DCE RPC dissector that causes a crash
when the MAPI dissector problem is seen.

I've checked in fixes for both of those problems.
