One additional note: It is possible to explicitly assign or reassign an ID
number with the set command as follows...
set [file] <player> idnum <#>
I haven't bothered looking into this to see what if any limitations or
implications are involved in setting a player's ID number.
This could be used as a workaround method of deleting a specific player's
MudMail after they are deleted (create a new character, set new character's
ID number to that of deleted player, retrieve MudMail, junk MudMail, delete
character).
This can also be used as an easy way to restore an accidentally deleted
player's MudMail (simply set his ID back to his old ID).
At any rate, I just thought I'd throw in this tidbit.
Regards,
Peter
