""

Remarks

This property contains the full text of the message.

It is advisable that the text contained in this property be a collection of lines with lengths less than or equal to 80 bytes separated by CRLF (Chr$(13) & Chr$(10)) . The text in the message lines must contain 7-bit characters so that the message can be successfully pass through the multitude of mail systems on the Internet.

The control automatically escapes lines that start with a "." by adding another as specified in RFC 821. The message text is unescaped by the receiving agent, so the process is fully transparent.
