@melpomene This is awesome. Plushelp if it's of any use:

& messages Messaging is vital to roleplay, whether through text, phone, or IM. Messages are sent whether or not the recipient is online. When they next log in, they will see an alert notifying them that they have messages in their queue. Syntax: msg <player>=<text> - Send a message to the specified player. msg/<type> <player>=<text> - Send <type> message, for example, phone. msg <text> - Send a message with the same settings as the last one. &msg-send-ra me=%%cw%%cR%%[RED ALERT%%]%%xn - Example of custom colorcoding. msg/off - Turn off messages, putting up to 50 into your queue. msg/on - Turns messages back on and displays message queue. msg/block <name>[=<reason>] - Openly block target from sending messages. msg/unblock <name> - Unblock a person who was blocked. msg/hide <name> - Secretly blocks target from messaging, queue disabled. msg/unhide <name> - Removes a secret/quiet block from the target. msg/view - Display any queued messages. msg/summary - View a summary of your message status. After a message is sent, the system remembers the last person (or group of people) you messaged, and the last type of message you sent. Messages display special behaviors when they start with :, ;, or |. :tests <-- Gallifrey tests ;'s test <-- Gallifrey's test |A test happens. <-- A test happens. Testing! <-- Gallifrey says, "Testing!" Custom colorcoding can be set with variables on your character object. Using the example under the syntax list, anyone who receives a message from you with the 'ra' switch (msg/ra <player>=<message>) will see a bright RED ALERT tag.

While testing I noticed that the built-in switches don't seem to work. For example, MSG/VIEW seems to think I'm trying to send a custom messaging type rather than checking the message queue:

msg/view <ALERT> [VIEW] CodeWiz sends, "/view" Or msg/summary <ALERT> [SUMMARY] CodeWiz sends, "/summary"
