SUMMARY
=======

The following syntax returns the four-character message type of the Microsoft
Mail message with the specified name:

     msmail(getMessageType [, name]) => type

Example
-------

     put msmail(getMessageType, "Phone") into messType

This puts "Mesp" into the HyperCard variable messType.

If no name is specified, a list of all the types will be returned. All types will
begin with "Me". The last two characters will be capitalized for all custom
forms. The standard types are as follows:

  Type        ID
  ----        --

  Note        Mess
  Phone       Mesp
  Image       Mesi
  80 col.     Megw
  AppleLink   Meal

Note: The Return Receipt message is a special type and will not appear in this
list. Its type is Merr and it is not a form that can be sent.

This information is taken from the "Microsoft Mail HyperCard Interface
Documentation."
