Magical Post Service: A Reminder

Hello,

I was thinking about propose an idea to help the new postal service along. I know that most characters fail to check the post office. I do on my character. I know this would not make very much ICly sense, but I believe it would make the postal service more functional.

My proposal is merely that whenever you long on a character, that it give you an echo as to if you have mail or not. Maybe something merely like:

You have mail!

If you dont have anything, well, you dont get any announcement.

Feedback is always welcome,
Thanks,

I like this very much. Much like 'your name has been accepted' echo you get when first making a char

for those of us who would not even think twice of someone sending something to them

Or perhaps a more IC "tell" like echo from a mob the instant you log in (the echo just looks like a 'tell' of course, it isn't ACTUALLY one...).

Perhaps (just say) Elminster enchanted the postal service's amulets of communication to be able to still track down those that have been detuned. That will explain why someone gets a tell from them if they have a detuned amulet.

If it was possible, it would have been done.

Yet, it's not possible without some new hardcode.

The good thing is that, with the recent modifications, it should now save over copyover (and most crashes), like a normal dwelling.

I thought that it would take some hard coding... it is still nice to have it in the game
