CODE: Mail system Error 11

From: Brian Ducati (brian@BITSTREAM.NET)

I just subscribed to this list, and am terribly sorry if this's already come up
and I missed it or something.  Though I did do quite a few searches thru the
archives on the website:-)

All I was getting from the postmaster was 'The Mail system is currently having
technical difficulties", whenever I gave it a command in the game.

I changed it so that it would append a (2), (3), or (9) to the end of the error
message, depending on what fatal error was causing the problem.

I got (2) from it next time I tried it.

After staring at the code for a while and making no progress I took out the if
routines (I added two so it would distinguish between the fatal errors) that
checked "no_mail" just to see what would happen...

At that point I actually got it to send and receive an e-mail... The only
problem was that in place of the message... it told me about the little "Error
#11" thingy.

So far as I'm able to tell, there's something screwy with the write to file
routine, but I don't have much of a clue what it is.

If anyone has any suggestions... PLEASE post them. If not, I guess I'll just
stare at the code till it comes to me. Which it wont.

Severely,
         Brian Ducati
