Client-side MTMs act as the interface between the internal representation of a message’s data and the User Interface MTM. This separation allows, for example, a User Interface MTM to offer a user interface to enter message addresses, without having to know the address storage format.
Client-side MTMs offer some or all of the following capabilities:
address list manipulation
creation of forward and response messages
message subject access
message validation
internalising and externalising MTM-specific data to the message store
The entry with which the Client-side MTM is currently working is
referred to as the context, similarly to CMsvEntry
. User Interface
MTMs always operate on the context set through the Client-side MTM.
Message client applications that do not require a user interface can use these functions directly for automated message handling.
