You can set the state of mailme in send_rep_out in many ways, I use mailme = is_name( "mailme", argument ); from within the caller, which let's players type es <some long output command> mailme. Here was my final solution with a caller example first: send_rep_out( ch, outbuf, mailme, "Estate Help" ); void send_rep_out( CHAR_DATA * ch, char * outbuf, bool mailme, char * msub ) { if ( mailme ) { bool saved_mail = FALSE; if ( ( !IS_NPC( ch ) ) && ( str_cmp( ch->pcdata->email_addy, "notset" ) ) ) { char mailfilename[MSL]; sprintf( mailfilename, "%s.mail", ch->name ); saved_mail = save_mail_file( mailfilename, outbuf ); if ( saved_mail ) { char outbuf2[MSL]; sprintf( outbuf2, "Email sent to %s", ch->pcdata->email_addy ); send_to_char( outbuf2, ch ); send_email( ch->pcdata->email_addy, msub, mailfilename ); } else { send_to_char( outbuf, ch ); send_to_char( "\n\r@@eUNABLE TO SEND SYSTEM MAIL. @@WCheck your sendmail settings.@@N\n\r", ch ); } } else { send_to_char( outbuf, ch ); } } else { send_to_char( outbuf, ch ); } } void send_email( const char * m_address, const char * m_subject, const char * mfilename ) { char mailbuf[MSL]; char delbuf[MSL]; int forkval; sprintf( mailbuf, "mail -s \"%s\" %s <%s%s", m_subject, m_address, MAIL_DIR, mfilename ); if ( ( forkval = fork() ) > 0 ) { sprintf( dbbuf, "Just sent email: %s", mailbuf ); monitor_chan( dbbuf, MONITOR_DEBUG ); return; } else if ( forkval < 0 ) { sprintf( dbbuf, "Error in fork for sent email: %s", mailbuf ); monitor_chan( dbbuf, MONITOR_DEBUG ); return; } system( mailbuf ); sprintf( delbuf, "rm %s%s", MAIL_DIR, mfilename ); system( delbuf ); exit(0); return; } bool save_mail_file( const char * mfilename, char * mtext ) { FILE * mailfp; char mailfpfilename[MSL]; fclose( fpReserve ); sprintf( mailfpfilename, "%s%s", MAIL_DIR, mfilename ); if ( ( mailfp = fopen( mailfpfilename, "w" ) ) == NULL ) { fpReserve = fopen( NULL_FILE, "r" ); return FALSE; } fprintf( mailfp, "%s\n", strip_color( mtext, "@@" ) ); fflush( mailfp ); fclose( mailfp ); fpReserve = fopen( NULL_FILE, "r" ); return TRUE; } </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00007" HREF="msg00007.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Mail from mud Zoran's final Imp</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> coder#ibm,net</li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00002.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Wild west (was Guilds & Politics)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00005.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00281.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00007.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Mail from mud Zoran's final Imp</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00003"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00003"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00278" HREF="msg00278.html">[MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, Brandon Cline <a href="mailto:brandon#sedona,net">brandon#sedona,net</a>, Thu 22 Jan 1998, 08:03 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00279" HREF="msg00279.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, Caliban Tiresias Darklock <a href="mailto:caliban#darklock,com">caliban#darklock,com</a>, Thu 22 Jan 1998, 11:45 GMT </LI> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00275" HREF="msg00275.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Thu 22 Jan 1998, 07:05 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00281" HREF="msg00281.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, Shawn Halpenny <a href="mailto:malachai#iname,com">malachai#iname,com</a>, Thu 22 Jan 1998, 14:59 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00003" HREF="msg00003.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Mail from mud Zoran's final Imp</A></strong>, Stephen Zepp <a href="mailto:zoran#enid,com">zoran#enid,com</a>, Thu 01 Jan 1998, 19:51 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00007" HREF="msg00007.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Mail from mud Zoran's final Imp</A></strong>, coder <a href="mailto:coder#ibm,net">coder#ibm,net</a>, Fri 02 Jan 1998, 00:44 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00008" HREF="msg00008.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Mail from mud Zoran's final Imp</A></strong>, Shawn Halpenny <a href="mailto:malachai#iname,com">malachai#iname,com</a>, Fri 02 Jan 1998, 16:05 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00075" HREF="msg00075.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Mail from mud Zoran's final Imp</A></strong>, JC Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,Eng.Sun.COM">claw#under,Eng.Sun.COM</a>, Wed 07 Jan 1998, 00:22 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00084" HREF="msg00084.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Mail from mud Zoran's final Imp</A></strong>, Shawn Halpenny <a href="mailto:malachai#iname,com">malachai#iname,com</a>, Wed 07 Jan 1998, 14:50 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
