I guess it makes sense when you send me the code and give the line number where you have the issue. I can't promise, but I'll try to give a good suggestion in the course of the day.
One important thing you need to think about is that pMsg does NOT necessarily use cstr objects to represent the entities. For example (IIRC), raw message is kept in a different buffer, and you cannot use cstr methods on that buffer. %msg% is actually not stored at all, it is taken from rawmsg. There is a whole lot of this kind of optimization done inside the message object. I guess this is what is hitting you.
