   i.e. No. 2: add a new Action, i.e. a Message Box with ISCL variables 
and static text supplied by the script author;

   wich makes No. 3: enhance the external hook or add a new type of 
external hook where ISCL variables are passed as arguments. 

   
   Frankly, I'm modest ... I could do with No. 1

   would need REXX scripting on OS/2. 

   Well, it would be enough to add the Windows version of the original 
OS/2 PMMsend.EXE, which is usable from a script and which adds the 
outgoing message into PMMail's outbox. 

   Besides that, all the message base, address books and so on have 
easily readable formats, so that it is easy to write an external program 
to work on them. 

   I have not yet felt the urge to script PMMail more than I can do it 
now. What are you missing?
