Mail System[edit]
Email is currently in ViewPoint, accessible from any full fledged networked ThinkDOS workstation. This communicates with the DWAINE mainframe to store and forward email[1].
Addresses are currently allcaps USERNAME @ SYSTEM
In the standard mailnet, your username is your first initial and your last name, and the local system is NT13
for example rcox@NT13 for rafael cox on nanotrasen space station 13
are we going to have TLDs? UUNET bangs? who knows!
Ideally, we'll be able to persist mailboxes along with characters, but that won't come until characters are locked.
Example Email[edit]
An example email as it stands now:
MAILNET: PUBLIC_NT
WORKGROUP: *ALL
FROM: THEFUTURE@SEER
TO: STRUTH@NT13
PRIORITY: LOW
SUBJECT: YOUR HOROSCOPE
BODY: In this modern age of space travel, the stars are more important than ever.
That's why nanotrasen has teamed up with top psychics Heather Dawn and Beta-35 to let you know what the stars have in store for you!
Scorpio:%;;'34\[\[w#hy don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?;;
In the random mail strings file, the above is stored like this:
mollymillions10@=PUBLIC_NT@,*ALL@,THEFUTURE@SEER@,STRUTH@NT13@,LOW@,Your horoscope@,In this modern age of space travel, the stars are more important than ever. @,That's why nanotrasen has teamed up with top psychics Heather Dawn and Beta-35 to let you know what the stars have in store for you!@,@,Scorpio: %;;'34\[\[w#hy don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?;;
Good to know and great for filling out your own spam/exposition logs!
