Description

The support in this lib doesn't match the doc
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/mapi/ns-mapi-mapifiledesc
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/mapi/ns-mapi-mapifiledescw

...\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0\um\MAPI.h
contains
MapiFileDesc
MapiFileDescW

but MAPI.h in this library only contains
MapiFileDesc

Is this intentional? A bug? Which one is correct?

Thanks

Research direction

Read the repository's MAPI.h and compare its MapiFileDesc definition with Microsoft's MAPI and MAPIW documentation and the Windows SDK header. Confirm whether the missing MapiFileDescW is intentional; done means recording the compatibility decision and defining the follow-up if the discrepancy is a defect.
