Mac Hyp: Explanation of messageRef (Message Reference) (62124)
The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q62124 SUMMARY
Many of the Microsoft Mail function calls refer to a "message
reference." This is a number passed back from, for example, the
createMessage or readMessage command. (The number is actually a
Macintosh "handle.") This number must be passed to all commands that
will manipulate a message to let the commands know which message to
work on. For example:
put msmail (createMessage) into myMessage
put msmail (addSubject, myMessage, "Test")
Any valid HyperCard variable can be used as a message reference.
"messageRef" is used in most examples for continuity.
This information is taken from the "Microsoft Mail HyperCard Interface
Documentation."
