Hello Dan,

Is something like the following what you are after?

----

from roundup.date import Date

def new_issue_auditor(db, cl, itemid, newvalues):
    if 'messages' in newvalues:
        return

    msg_id = db.msg.create(
        author=db.getuid(),
        date=Date('.'),
        summary='some message summary',
        content='content of message',
        files=[file_id]
    )

    newvalues['messages'] = [msg_id]

----

The only caveat is where the file_id comes from  (I don't have access to
a setup where I can play around with this at the moment). If you are
already doing something related to the file, then that may be a bit more
obvious to you than me.

Hopefully this is enough of a hint to point you in the right direction.

SeeYa,
John.
