SUMMARY
Many of the Microsoft Mail function calls refer to a &quot;message reference.&quot; This is a number passed back from, for example, the createMessage or readMessage command. (The number is actually a Macintosh &quot;handle.&quot;) This number must be passed to all commands that will manipulate a message to let the commands know which message to work on. For example: put msmail (createMessage) into myMessage put msmail (addSubject, myMessage, &quot;Test&quot;) Any valid HyperCard variable can be used as a message reference. &quot;messageRef&quot; is used in most examples for continuity.

This information is taken from the &quot;Microsoft Mail HyperCard Interface Documentation.&quot;
