HELPLIB.HLB  —  MAIL Routines, MAIL$MESSAGE_INFO, Input Item Codes
 MAIL$_MESSAGE_BACK

    When you specify Boolean item code MAIL$_MESSAGE_BACK,
    MAIL$MESSAGE_INFO reads the identification number of the current
    message and returns the preceding message.

    Specify the value 0 in the buffer length and buffer address
    fields of the item descriptor.

    Do not specify MAIL$_MESSAGE_BACK, MAIL$_MESSAGE_ID, and MAIL$_
    MESSAGE_NEXT in the same call to MAIL$MESSAGE_INFO.

 MAIL$_MESSAGE_ID

    MAIL$_MESSAGE_ID specifies the message identification number of
    the message on which the operation is to be performed. The buffer
    address field of the item descriptor points to a longword that
    contains the message identification number.

    Do not specify MAIL$_MESSAGE_BACK, MAIL$_MESSAGE_ID, and MAIL$_
    MESSAGE_NEXT in the same call to MAIL$MESSAGE_INFO.

 MAIL$_MESSAGE_NEXT

    When you specify the Boolean item code MAIL$_MESSAGE_NEXT,
    MAIL$MESSAGE_INFO reads the message identification number of
    the current message and returns the message that follows it.

    Specify the value 0 in the buffer length and buffer address
    fields of the item descriptor.

    Do not specify MAIL$_MESSAGE_BACK, MAIL$_MESSAGE_ID, and MAIL$_
    MESSAGE_NEXT in the same call to MAIL$MESSAGE_INFO.
