I know that this is possible using the MessageList API which was introduced with RIM OS 4.6, but I've seen other applications do this using RIM OS 4.5 or earlier.

The qustion is, how do you programatically create a Message and then insert it into the BlackBerry inbox so that it looks and behaves like a regular e-mail message; meaning, it has the same envelope icons (not draft icons), and it can be opened, forwarded, replied-to, etc?

Creating a Message is simple enough. And adding a message to the inbox is also trivial using the API's available even under early RIM OS versions. But added messages behave like draft messages (different envelope icon, and can't be forwarded, or deleted from the message view), rather than incoming e-mail messages. And yet, I've seen programs using earlier versions of the RIM JDE than 4.6, placing e-mail into the inbox.

Is this done directly via some manipulation of the persistent store rather than through the mail api?
