SUMMARY
=======

To return a list of the messages in a user's mailbox, use the following
command:

  msmail (getMessageList[, typeFilter][, subjectFilter][, enclosureFilter])
  =>
  messageList

The fields in messageList can be accessed with getMessageListField. If no filters
are specified, then all messages are returned. Otherwise, only the messages that
satisfy the filter requirements are returned.

"typeFilter" is a single message type to be returned (for example, "Mess" would
display only Note messages).

"subjectFilter" specifies the exact subject that a message must have (an empty
string matches all messages).

"enclosureFilter" specifies the type(s) of enclosure a message must have (for
example, "TEXTWDBN" would display messages containing text or Microsoft Word
files).

When finished with messageList, dispose of it by calling disposeMessageList to
free up the memory allocated by calling this function.

Documentation."
