& @mail
@mail[/<switches>] <player-list> = <subject>
@mail[/<switches>] [<msg-list> [= <target>]]
@mail invokes the built-in MUX mailer, which allows players to send
and receive mail. Pronoun/function substitution is performed on
any messages you may try to send.
A <player-list> is a space-separated list of recipients, which may
be:
Player names (names with spaces in them should be put in
double quotes, ex: "Foo Bar")
Player dbref #'s
Message numbers to be replied to.
A mix of the above, and mail aliases (see @malias)
A <msg-list> is one of the following:
A single msg # (ex: 3)
A message range (ex: 2-5, -7, 3-)
A sender (ex: *lauren)
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"
For certain commands, "all".
