Examples

string email = "";

default
{
    state_entry() 
    {
        if(email == "")
            email = (string)llGetKey()+"@lsl.secondlife.com";

        //Send an email to a normal email account
        llEmail( email, "Look it's an email subject line!", "Testing 1 2 3" );
    }

    touch_start( integer num_detected )
    {
        //Send an email to the person who touched the prim
        llEmail( email, "No touching!", "I was defiled by: " + llDetectedName(0)+"\nKey: "+(string)llDetectedKey(0) );
    }
}

Useful Snippets

email( string time, string address, string subj, string message, integer num_left )
{
    if(llGetSubString(address, -19, -1) == "@lsl.secondlife.com")//trim the header
        message = llDeleteSubString(message, 0, llSubStringIndex(message, "\n\n") + 1);
}

Notes

• Because of the long delay on this function, it is often called from a second script triggered by link message.
• If you are sending email within Second Life, remember that the address is [key]@lsl.secondlife.com
  • Which means if the key returned by llGetKey is "a2e76fcd-9360-4f6d-a924-000000000003", then its email address is "a2e76fcd-9360-4f6d-a924-000000000003@lsl.secondlife.com".
