Play by Web now supports Play by E-mail (PBEM) & other features

[Admiral]

The code must be unaltered.

I say "same subject" merely to prevent people from thinking they can just send a random e-mail to the server and expect it to be processed.

It actually ignores everything but the code. Also, if you put other ~ characters into the subject, the server will also be unable to process the turn. Hence... leaving it unaltered (with the usual RE or SV or whatever prefix) is the safest way of telling people to use it.

I have one user who uses AOL, which truncates the subject after about 60 characters, in a game with more than 60 chars in the name (one of the tournaments), so he has to edit the subject so the code is seen.

Cheers,

Admiral

Fuerte has recently added some support to allow PBEM helper and PBW to work together.

Onus is now on me to add support to PBW to support the enhanced PBEM helper.

Thanks,

Admiral

Hey Admiral, have you seen the latest press release from Richard? (Thread title is "Check out...")

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

this gets better every day.
