DOCUMENT:Q62079 09-NOV-1999 [macmail] TITLE :Mac Hyp: Initializing a New Message PRODUCT :Microsoft Mail For Appletalk Networks PROD/VER::2.0,3.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit (SDK) for HyperCard, versions 2.0, 3.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= The command to initialize memory allocation for a new message is as follows: msmail(createMessage [, type]) => messageRef createMessage allocates and initializes a new and empty message. If successful, a message reference number is returned. This can be passed to other routines to manipulate this particular message. The default message type is "Mess" or the standard Note form. To create other types of messages, put the correct four-character form ID in the type parameter. MORE INFORMATION ================ To convert the two-character IDs used by the Microsoft Mail Form Designer to the four-character IDs used by createMessage, add the characters "Me" to the beginning of the two-character ID. For example, the Phone message form has the two-character ID "sp", so to create a Phone message, use the following command: put msmail (createMessage, "Mesp") into phoneMessage "phoneMessage" is any HyperCard container. For more information on message types, query on "getMessageType" (without the quotation marks). This information is taken from the "Microsoft Mail HyperCard Interface Documentation."
