SUMMARY

The following command sets the message body of message "messageRef" to the contents of the text string or HyperCard container (variable or field) referenced by "data":

   msmail(AddBody, messageRef, data)

The main message text field is limited in length to 32K.

"messageRef" is a reference to a selected message obtained by making a call to the msmail function using a parameter that returns a message reference, such as getMessageListField.

MORE INFORMATION

The following are two examples of how AddBody can be used:

put "This is a test message." into theBody

get msmail(AddBody, messRef, theBody)

put card field 2 & return & card field 3 into bdy
put msmail(CreateMessage) into mref
get msmail(AddBody, mref, "Hello, read this" & bdy)
