[Zope] MailHost

Hello, Has anyone else had this problem?

From a python script, I call mhost.send(messageText=mText, mto=emailaddr, mfrom=frmemailaddr, subject=title, encode=none).

All variables have previously been defined. The contents of messageText cannot be seen in the email. I tried directly placing a string, i.e messageText='hello', as well has defining the value in a separate variable and setting that equal to messageText. I never get anything in the body of the email. The to and from and subject fields are always fine. Any suggestions? Thank you, Shilpa
