[python-win32] mapi - writing to PR_BODY

[Christian K.]

Hi,

according to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc839695.aspx
writing to the PR_BODY property of a mapi message should be done more or 
less like the following:

def TextToStream(mapi_object, text):
     prop_id = PR_BODY_A
     stream = mapi_object.OpenProperty(prop_id,
                                       pythoncom.IID_IStream,
                                       0, mapi.MAPI_MODIFY)
     print stream.Stat(0)
     print stream.Write('papperlapapp\n'*10)
     mapi.RTFSync(mapi_object,
                  mapi.RTF_SYNC_BODY_CHANGED|mapi.RTF_SYNC_RTF_CHANGED)
     stream.Commit(1)
     del stream   # instead of calling Release, which I could not find

write should return the number of bytes written but it returns None 
here. In case it makes a difference: I am not creating a new message 
rather than trying to modify the body of an existing one.
I learned much from the spambayes project how to properly read message 
bodies but I cannot find more information on write access.

Any pointers highly appreciated.

Regards, Christian
