  • @mail[/<switches>] [<msg-list> [= <target>]]
  • @mail[/<switches>] <player-list> = [<subject>/]<message>

@mail invokes the built-in MUSH mailer, which allows players to send and receive mail. Pronoun/function substitution is performed on any messages you may try to send.

A <msg-list> is one of the following:

  • A single msg # (ex: 3)
  • A message range (ex: 2-5, -7, 3-)
  • A folder number and message number/range (ex: 0:3, 1:2-5, 2:-7)
  • A sender (ex: *paul)
  • An age of mail in days (ex: ~3 (exactly 3), <2, >1) "days" here means 24-hour periods from the current time.
  • One of the following: "read", "unread", "cleared", "tagged", "urgent", "all" (all messages in all folders), "folder" (all messages in current folder)

A <player-list> is a space-separated list of recipients, which may be

  • Player names
  • Player dbref #'s
  • Message #'s, in which case you send to the sender of that message.
  • An alias name (see help @malias)
