I added this to my detector:

   if not 'messages' in newvalues:
        msg_id = db.msg.create(
            author=db.getuid(),
            date=Date('.'),
            summary='',
            content=''
        )

        newvalues['messages'] = [msg_id]


After that, I can append to the message file just as I was doing before.
