SPROC Cannot Pass Text Or Ntext

Hi there! I've read through several of these forums and am impressed by the talent out there. I'm hoping someone could share some insight on a little complication I've got.

I have a sproc that essentially is pulling all mail items from a profile, reading them in and storing them in a table. It is all working fine MINUS the fact that I cannot pass the message because it won't allow me to pass text or ntext.

If anyone has any ideas I would truly appreciate it. In the meantime I'll be searching through the forum looking for a way to make it happen.
Thx, Camey

Here's my code:

CREATE PROCEDURE USP_News_GETmail

declare@post_subject char(60)
declare@post_text text

Set @msg_id = NULL
while (1=1)
begin
exec master..xp_findnextmsg @msg_id = @msg_id output
if @msg_id is null break
