Figure 10- 97 [NSAttributedString string]
Let’s test “instantMessageWithText:flags:” with an NSAttributedString object:
cy# attributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"iOSRE test"]
#"iOSRE test{\n}"
cy# message = [IMMessage instantMessageWithText:attributedString flags:100005]
#"IMMessage[from=(null); msg-subject=(null); account:(null); flags=186a5; subject='<<
Message Not Loggable >>' text='<< Message Not Loggable >>' messageID: 0 GUID:'00A8C645-
D207-4F93- 9739 - 07AAC94E7465' date:'437812476.099226' date-delivered:'0.000000' date-

cy# [attributedString release]An IMMessage object appears, but as you can see, the value of flags is presented in
hexadecimal instead of decimal. Only a tiny fix is needed to make it correct:
cy# message = [IMMessage instantMessageWithText:attributedString flags:1048581]
#"IMMessage[from=(null); msg-subject=(null); account:(null); flags=100005; subject='<<
Message Not Loggable >>' text='<< Message Not Loggable >>' messageID: 0 GUID:'61012DF3-
