SUMMARY
=======

The following command returns the name of the sender of the message:

     msmail(getSender, messageRef [, extended]) => data

If "extended" is true (the default), the name is returned in the form
"userName@serverName".

"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.

If the message was received through a gateway, the "extended" parameter is
ignored, and only the user name is returned.

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