In Game Message System

It doesn't appear to be quite so simple. When you try to send an in-game email in EQEmu, the client gives the message:

Please wait until we reconnect you with the Universal Chat service.  Your request has not been sent.

which would indicate to me that the in-game mail is handled over a totally separate connection than the client/world or client/zone streams we are familiar with.

So it would probably take quite a while to figure out how to get it to work. I'm insanely busy at work for the next few weeks, but I'll take a look at it if I get some free time.

I wasn't suggesting you write the whole system, just grab the opcodes for it

Though, we do have a mail server option in our config file. I wonder if somebody already thought ahead and partially implemented that.
