Thanks Nick!

How do you call that VBS script? (i.e. how does it know to activate when the turn is ready?)

With the --postexec argument to dom3. You just whip up a custom shortcut to start your dom3 server. You probably want to use things like --textonly --tcpserver --port and so forth anyway, so just add another arg.

Ahhh cool. I'll give it a go. Thanks!

You can install cygwin on Windows and use Linux scripts.

Bit of overkill though, for someone who just wants simple email notifications for their dom3 game.

It's useful for all kind of things that are otherwise very difficult on Windows. But considering that it's essentially a large set of many convenient utilities, it's hard for most people to find a "must install" reason for cygwin

Thanks Nick.... used your script and it seems to be working great!
