Summary

Function: llEmail( string address, string subject, string message );
20.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Sends an email to address with subject and message.

• string address
• string subject
• string message

Specification

The message is prefixed with information about the prim sending the email.

Template Example
Object-Name: *prim*
Region: *simname* (*simpos.x*, *simpos.y*)
Local-Position: (*primpos.x*, *primpos.y*, *primpos.z*)

*message*
Object-Name: Object
Region: Gibson (254976, 256000)
Local-Position: (117, 129, 50)

The real message starts here.

Caveats

  • This function causes the script to sleep for 20.0 seconds.
  • There is a limit to the number of email messages an object can send in a given amount of time.

Examples

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 it's email address is "a2e76fcd-9360-4f6d-a924-000000000003@lsl.secondlife.com".
