20 - Using RexxMail objects
Click here for background information
Since a RexxMail message (including the mail message templates in the 'Addresses' folder) is an OS/2 file object, it can be moved, copied, or shadowed to any location, even outside RexxMail folders, without losing its properties. Messages can be moved to the desktop or another folder for safekeeping or processing at a later date.

In this case, a folder holds various types of documents relating to my dealings with ACME Corp.. It holds an incoming and an outgoing mail message, as well as a DeScribe document of a letter I wrote to the company. There is also a mail message template object to enable me to start a new mail message to ACME from this folder. When I finish the new message, I can click MB2 and use the message object's pop-up menu to send it.
