Can someone explain to me how to set up a mail system? There's a helpfile on it but when you go to the "postmaster" in darkhaven it says "There is no mail facility here" Is there a flag I can set?

There is no board there yet.

After a bit of mucking around I posted a note. Try this, as an immortal.

The immortal board is in room 1200, so:


goto 1200
The Parlour of the Immortals
You are lounging in a quiet cosy parlour, warmed by a gentle magical fire
which twinkles happily in a warm fireplace. 
 
Exits: none.
Mystical sparkling colors converge here to form arcane runes...


Now write a note ...

I'm not sure how to create more boards from within the game, however check out boards.txt in the boards directory.
