SUMMARY

The following command returns a reference number to a new message that is a copy of the message in "originalMessage":
   msmail(createForward, originalMessage) => messageRef
				
"originalMessage" 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.

Before sending the copy of the message, the message must be addressed with the addRecipients call. Any enclosure or enclosures of the original message will be included with the new message. They can be removed in Mail version 3.00 only with removeEnclosure.

To pre-pend text, retrieve the current body with getBody, and replace it with addBody:

put msmail(getmessage, messageType, messageID) in messageRef
put msmail(getBody, messageRef) into oldBody
put "This forwarded message matches your interests" into newBod
put msmail(createForward, messageRef) into newMessRef
put msmail(disposeMessage, messageRef)
put msmail(addBody, newMessRef, newBod& return &oldBody)
