    Awesome find!
    I was really struggling to figure out why it was messing up for you but that absolutely explains it. The way it is set up you do have to get
    the header before the text!

    I thought that because you call the function like msg_gettxt(msg) it gets the data using the msg object and didn't require to read the header first.

    I feel like an idiot :) I was frustrated for many hours, many times trying to find what the hell i was doing wrong and it was in front of me all the time :)

    I didn't really intend for it to work that way, but that is how it does work after looking at the code.

    Its totally my fault, sorry.. I should have realized that limitation and documented it.

    I have updated the msgread.mpy example in the new installation to mention that gethdr has to be called first.
