One of the greatest additions to our profession is the new command /mailsave.
This will save each in-game mail to individual files on your hardrive (mail does not get deleted). (each mail = 1 file).
For you savvy peeps, you can write a parsing program to whip through the files, parse out the details (item sold, quantity, price, location, customer, date/time) and load them into a spread sheet/database. You can even separate Vendor Sales, Bazaar Sales and non-Sale related mails.
No more hand entering!!!!!!!!
In 5 seconds I can get over 500 sales emails (my current list of unentered mails) into my database.
With this plus no more need to reset advertising, I get to play more, and be more efficient
Three cheers...hip, hip....!!!!!
