Hey all..
Is there a way to get the To, From, Subject, Area, and if it's private or not 
when using an external editor? I want to make a MSGINF file:
  MSGINF. Format: (curteosy Matt Lyon)
Line 1 : From Name
Line 2 : To Name
Line 3 : Subject
Line 4 : Number of messages in the Hudson/JAM Base + 1
Line 5 : Message Area Name
Line 6 : Boolean, "YES" or "NO".. I think it's whether the message is
         Private or not.
IceEdit uses that, and i'd like to make up that file..
I've thought about making up a message header entry program in pascal, but 
then maximus needs to import the MSGTMP still.. So i need something between 
the header entry, and the external editor to make this.... but the big 
question is how do i retrieve the info?
I suppose i could also make up a mex to do it, then have it jam the info into 
the message header.. but that's a lot of work since it need to account for 
weather the area starts in the Pvt flag at the top, or just on the To: line, 
or if it's sysop access the fact that hte From: can be edited........
thanks..
ttyl, greg
