hi everyone I should be able to overwrite the properties of the email node.  
at this moment I can only write the property To.  
there is a way to be able to overwrite these properties.  
because I have to change them from the dashboard.  
Thanks in advance.

The built in help tells you what properties of msg to set.

If I remember right, msg.topic becomes the subject, msg.payload becomes the body.

Note. User ID and password are not settable at runtime.
