Currently there is no information passed by llEmail that conveys who owns the object. This is bad.

Current Header:
CODE

Object-Name: Object
Region: Gibson (254976, 256000)
Local-Position: (117, 129, 50)


Proposed Header:
CODE

Object-Name: Object
Object-Owner: abcdef01-2345-6789-abcd-ef0123456789, Daft Punk
Region: Gibson (254976, 256000)
Local-Position: (117, 129, 50)


If that suggestion doesn't fly over well, i have an alternative...

key llRequestMailWhois(key remoteprim)

remoteprim is the key of the prim that information is wanted about, the object would have to have an email event for this lookup to work (this could piggy back on the email system).
It would return a key to a dataserver event.

Which would return...
CODE

Object-Name: Object
Object-Owner: abcdef01-2345-6789-abcd-ef0123456789, Daft Punk
Region: Gibson <254976, 256000, 0>
Local-Position: <117, 129, 50>

note the change in brackets, this would make parsing the info easier.

except changing the brackets now would mess up people who are already parsing out information.
So please no brackets changes.

The bracket change would only be for the new function not the old.

Having the same syntax for both functions is still useful, since it would allow common code to parse both.
