Emailsend (Slash Command)

This page contains information that no longer applies to the current version of Homecoming: City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.

From the Issue 8 Page 1 Patch Notes:

* Remove /emailsend, /emailsendattachment, /gmailclaim, and /gmailreturn slash commands. These commands were intended for internal use by the UI and correct usage depends on knowing internal character state that is not visible to the player. Incorrect usage can leave the player's mailbox in a corrupt state that renders it unusable without manual administrator intervention to fix the database records.

Slash command

/emailsend name subject message

Send in-game email message.

• name = either a character name or global name of a player (no spaces allowed)
• subject = the subject of the email
• message = the message you'd like to say

NOTE: The email slash commands do not like spaces in either character or global names. Using a name with spaces in it can potentially cause the email system to lock up for the character that sent the email, or otherwise cause trouble for an extended period of time. It's a bug.

• Long subjects with spaces need to be enclosed by double quotes ("Long Subject").
• The message, oddly, is not required to be enclosed by double quotes.

TIPS:

• The email window in game does accept long names with spaces, and is in general more reliable and easier to use for the average player.
• Be careful using/Window_show compose to send emails. After doing some vigorous testing on the command, I ended up blocking my ability to send global emails on that character. I suspect it was because I sent too many emails too quickly.

Examples

/emailsend SuperBob "Incarnate Impending!" I'm almost there, buddy! One more incarnate power to go!
 
/emailsend @WildChicken "Freakin' BAF" "I've done BAF 10 times now and not one very rare incarnate salvage has dropped. :("
