Mail-sending

@mail[/switch]  = This begins a message to all players in . The forms the To: line of the @mail -- the list of primary receipients.

-  ~         These add text to the message in progress, for example, the following would add the text 'This is a test' to the end of your @mail message:

-This is a test

Likewise, ~ prepends the text.

@mail/send This sends the message that is currently in progress. -- is the equivalent of @mail/send. @mail/urgent sends the message as urgent, and should not be used often.

@mail/cc  This adds  to the current list of recipients. Like the primary recipients, these additions will be visible to every recipient.

@mail/bcc  This adds  to the current list of recipients. Unlike the primary recipients and the carbon-copy (cc) receipients, these additions will be hidden from every recipient including each other.

@mail/proof This shows you the message that is currently in progress, as       it would be read by whomever received it.

@mail/edit = Like @edit, but edits the message in process.

@mail/abort This aborts the message currently in progress, allowing you to start a new one.

@mail/fwd =  This sends a copy of to all the players in . The copy will appear to have been sent by you (not the original       sender), and its status will be "Forwarded". Note that this places the message to be forwarded into your mail buffer, where you can edit it with @mail/edit, add text with '-', or prepend text with '~'. You have to use '--' or @mail/send to send the message.

@mail/quick / = Sends to the list of players.

@mail/reply[/quote] This starts a working message to the person who sent you.

@mail/replyall[/quote] This starts a working message to the person who sent you and to every other recipient of.

In both cases, because this is a reply, the subject line will be:

'Re: '

Also, in both cases, if /quote is specified, the original message will be quoted into the working message with a header and footer much like the following:

You can add additional text above or below the quoted material with the postpend ('-') and prepend ('~') @mail commands. Like, normal outgoing @mail, the reply is finished and sent with '--' on a line by itself
