SUMMARY
=======

The following command returns a new message that is a reply to the message in
"originalMessage":

     msmail(createReply, originalMessage [,replyAll][,copyText])
     => 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.

The message will be addressed to the sender of the original message (and all the
original recipients if "replyAll" is true). If "copyText" is true, the original
message text will be included in the reply. If they are omitted, "replyAll" and
"copyText" default to the currently logged-on user's preferences.

Note that the following message types cannot be replied to:

- Return receipt (which has the ID "Merr")

- Undeliverable mail message (ID "Mest")

- Gateway status message (ID "Mege")

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