I had trouble sending this the first time, so it may be replicated.
Sorry about this.

I don't have access to the 1988 X.400 MHS standards, and I need a
clarification wrt to P7 fetch operation.

The Omnicom course material for 1988 X.400 that I have says the following:
	If the fetch operation is performed successfully, the MS sends to
	the UA a ReturnResult APDU with the invoke identifier value from the
	Invoke (fetch) APDU, and a set containing the message as the return
	result.

My question: Is the message returned a P2 PDU? My current thinking is yes.
	     If not, what is it?

	     Is a message submitted by the remote UA also a P2 PDU?

My interest comes from trying to make sure that an arbitrary UA on a remote 
m/c, e.g., a PC, that implements P7 based on X.400 standards can talk with an 
MS/MTA that also implements P7 based on X.400 standards.

Also, in case MS is remote from the MTA - Is the message submitted by MS to MTA
or delivered to MS to MTA a P2 PDU?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
