Messages in The Message Server

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	Attachment files are stored in the message store, or, from v9.0, can also be specified as links to files stored elsewhere on disk.
