SUMMARY
=======
The following routine retrieves information from a messageList created by
getMessageList or displayMessageCenter in Microsoft Mail version 2.00:
msmail(GetMessageListField, messageList, fieldName[,index])=>data
What is returned depends on the value of the "fieldName" parameter:
1. "messageCount" returns the number of messages in the list.
2. "type" returns the 4-character message type.
3. "ID" returns the message's unique ID number.
4. "read" returns true if the message has already been read; otherwise, it
returns false.
5. "enclosure" returns true if the message contains an attached file; otherwise,
it returns false.
6. "urgent" returns true if the message is urgent; otherwise it returns false.
7. "sender" returns the sender's name.
8. "subject" returns the message subject.
9. "receivedDate" returns the received date in seconds since 1904.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If "index" is supplied, getMessageListField returns the value of that field for
the message indicated by "index." So, to find out whether the third message has
been read, type the following:
" put msmail(getMessageListField, messageList, "read", 3) into isRead "
(without the quotation marks)
If "index" is not supplied, getMessageListField returns a list of values, one for
each message in the message list, followed by a return:
put msmail(getMessageListField, messageList, "sender") into sndr
If the message list has multiple messages in it, "sndr" will contain:
sender of message 1<return>
sender of message 2<return>
...
If the message list has one message in it, "sndr" will contain:
sender of message 1<return>

Documentation."
