an identifier telling

of
the main subject
of
the message, and the actual message itself.
Because the messages listed were

MESSAGES Mail file, a
To
name is not needed. However, when
you create messages, you must enter
T
o
whom the message is be-
ing sent, unless you want it to be placed in the default MESSAGES
file.
