What is a mailer?
The mailer is the primary way in which we communicate news to players in the game. We use it to send mail to other players and to mailing lists
What is a mailing list?
A mailng list is a list of people who wish to recieve information about a certain topic.
For example, if a user wishes to receive information on IC News, they'd subscribe to the ic.news mailer
How do we know what mailing lists are out there?
We have a command called @subscribe
To get a list of available mailing lists, just type @subscribe and a list with an explanation of what each is for will display
How do we subscribe to a mailing list?
@subscribe mailerName
How do we send mail to a mailing list / another player?
@send playerName or @send mailerName
This will teleport you to a mailing room which will display commands you can use for composing your email. It will prompt you to enter in the subject and then you can add the body of your mailing. When you're done, you just type 'send'
For example if you wanted to send to the Avengers mailerName you would do the following
@send *Avengers
This is a message <— This is the subject you gave it
say This is the body of the message
say The first 'say' in this line will not actually display once you post this
say And this is how you send using the @send feature
send
How do we check our mail / mailing list?
@mail - shows what personal mail you have received
@nn - shows new news that have been added since you last checked
@read last on *icnews <— this reads the last message on mailer *icnews
@read 1-3 on *icnews <— This reads messages 1 through 3 on mailer *icnews
@read 5 on *icnews <— This reads message 5 on mailer *icnews
