second paragraph

Text refers to MemHandleSetSize when I can't find this function in the palm
documentation or header files. It probably should be MemHandleResize
instead.

SendBody and SendSingleBodyLine code examples

The Sendmail logic, as published, only handles the first line of a multiple
line message.

Look in SendBody...
It loops as long as there are characters in the body AND ***result = 0***
When it finds a '
' it sends the buffer off to SendSingleBodyLine
BUT (looking in SendSingleBodyLine)
SendSingleBodyLine sends a '1' for success and a '0' for failure. (Using
the updated code from your web site, the book doesn't even return 1 for
success...)

So SendSingleBodyLine sends back '1' for success, SendBody sees that as
failure and only the first line gets send.

My fix was to to have SendSingleBodyLine return 0 for success and 1 for
failure, then fix the sendmail routine so that the SendBody if statement
reads...

if (SendBody...)

rather than

if (!SendBody...)
