llEmail

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

The entire message (including the address, subject and other miscellaneous fields) can't be longer than 4096 bytes combined.

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.
• Due to the bug SVC-23 (present since 2005), objects may stop receiving emails completely until either the region is restarted or the object crosses a region boundary (resetting the script doesn't help). Emails sent may eventually be received after a restart/region-cross. Hence, don't rely on this function for reliable inter-region messaging.

Examples

<lsl> string email_address = "somebody@example.com"; // who will receive the messages

default {

   state_entry() {

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

   touch_start( integer num_detected ) {
       integer i = 0;

       // Send another email, telling who touched the prim.
       do
           llEmail( email_address, "No touching!", "I was defiled by: " + llDetectedName(i) + "\nKey: " + (string) llDetectedKey(i) );
       while(++i < num_detected);
   }

}

</lsl>

Useful Snippets

<lsl> 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);

} </lsl>

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 to an object within Second Life, its 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".
  • Agents do not have fixed email addresses, use llInstantMessage or llOwnerSay.
