Postal Notification

Not sure if this is implemented, is possible, or has been addressed, but thought it might be a neat idea.

I see an annoying message everytime that WR/EQ loads about unready storyline events. Is there anyway that with the new postal system, as you log on or zone in WR, that if you have a message waiting for you in the postal system that you could recieve a notification in you chat window, or even have a Postmaster NPC send /tells to people when they recieve a mail?

Just an idea.
 
An Admin may correct me, but my gut says, "No way this is possible."
WR uses an older version of the client which doesn't support the new mail system, as far as I know.
 
I'm guessing that's more than likely the case, but if it is possible, and there are other ways. A simple .php script with linked tables could allow one to login to a webpage which would then query the database for any sendmail or recievedmail tables. It'd even be possible, and fairly easy, to setup a script for one to be able to be offline and send and recieve text letters bypassing the postal npc. With a little more coding, and more linked tables, it'd even be possible to send items from in game offline, but I doubt anyone'd want to go that far. Heck, just as easy, if they ever setup a web administration center for the in game postal center, there could be sms notification or e-mail notification of new messages in game.

It's all a MySQL backend, and using MySQL and .PHP just about anything is possible, if not client side, than externally. ;)
 
The WR client is much, much older than the client which uses the new EQLive mail system. Probably by about a year or more. So no, it wouldn't be possible to use that specific window for this.
 
That much I'd figured by examining EQEmu earlier this morning. What about the possibility of a web-based system? I know it's a possibility, and relatively easy to code.. and also understand that it is by no means a priority, just a suggestion. :)
