Well yes, there is a bunch of stuff there. 8 bytes worth.

Here is what it should be:

 TYPE MsgHeaderType
   FromUser    AS STRING * 36
   ToUser      AS STRING * 36
   subJect     AS STRING * 72
   dateTime    AS STRING * 20    'date and time of message creation
                                 'example:  "01 Jan 1991" + TIME$
   timesRead   AS INTEGER
   destNode    AS INTEGER        'destination node
   origNode    AS INTEGER        'original node
   cost        AS INTEGER
   origNet     AS INTEGER
   destNet     AS INTEGER
   destZone    AS INTEGER        'optional
   origZone    AS INTEGER        'optional
   destPoint   AS INTEGER        'optional
   origPoint   AS INTEGER        'optional
   replyTo     AS INTEGER        'message that this one's a reply to
   Attribute   AS INTEGER        'attribute bits
   nextReply   AS INTEGER
 END TYPE



They are formated with high and low order bytes.

If you need help or code net mail me.
