Messages

The storage format of a message can be summarised from the preceding discussion as follows:

Type	Storage
Generic header and message state information	Index entry
MTM-specific header information	MTM-specific stream in an associated message store
Message body	Default rich text object stream in message store. Note that this can be empty if the message body contains no text (for example, a fax composed of image files).
Attachments	Attachments are described in index entries belonging to the relevant message entry. The files themselves are stored in the message’s associated directory.
