Re: Community challenge: Automated PBEM e-mailing
The part I waste the most time on with llamaserver games, and BTW I wouldn't play PBEM at all if you hadn't setup the awesomeness that is llamaserver, is the amount of time it takes me to download the attachment to the right folder, open up dominions, and then reattach it when I'm ready to go.
What would give me the most time savings is if there was a single program I could run that would...
1. Download the e-mail, or fetch it from a particular place. The second part is important, I don't want to have to run the program each time just to see if the turn has hosted. Part of the fun of PBEM or Velusion's IP servers is getting the notice in the mail letting you know it has. If the program could both log into a POP account as well as check your regular e-mail client's directory, that would be best.
2. Then open up dom 3 to that game.
3. When I close down dom 3, prompt if you want to send game.
That's pretty much it. That would make me a very happy camper. Llamaserver is great already though, so anything you add is just icing on the cake.
