MAILBOX

Syntax: mailbox list
mailbox open
mailbox open clan*
mailbox <box number> close
mailbox <box number> list
mailbox <box number> read <message>

Mailboxes are an addition to the mail system meant to allow mail to be
delivered and received anonymously. Instead of mailing someone by name, you
can now send mail to a mailbox number that the recipient has access to.

In order to purchase a mailbox, you must be standing in a room with a mail
terminal. You can access your mailbox from any mail terminal across the galaxy.
The command mailbox list shows the mailbox numbers that you own and the
number of messages in them.

Mailboxes cost 25,000 credits to purchase, and you may only have a maximum of
three mailboxes at any time.

* Clans can now own mailboxes. To open a clan mailbox or interact with one, you
must either be in clan leadership (i.e., leader, first, or second) or have the
mail empowerment. Clans may only have three mailboxes at a time, and they
cost 100,000 credits each.

To send mail to a mailbox, you must put @<boxnumber> in the `to` line of
a message disk. For example, to send mail to mailbox number 24601, you'd
address the disk to @24601 before sending it.
