I haven't seen this code at all...but if it sends the vnum of the
object, couldn't you just add more variables in the same place for other
such things, like damage, or special mods...or change the whole objmail
so that objects are stored on the mud somewhere until the receiver gets
the mail, then just obj_from_room, obj_to_char them...if the mud
crashes, make it a saved room, or every few mins...save that room to olc
files or something stranger :)
Just a thought...
