TinyMUX Mail Functions

TinyMUX Mail Functions

Section titled “TinyMUX Mail Functions”

Mail functions from TinyMUX. Each reads your own mailbox, or the mailbox of a player you control. A player who is not there answers #-1 NO SUCH PLAYER. A message number counts from 1 in the mailbox’s current folder, and a number with no message answers #-1 NO SUCH MESSAGE.

In the examples, Alice has sent Bob four messages, and Bob has filed one in another folder. Bob asks, except where Alice does.
