Hi All

I have my account set so that I can receive offline IM's into my email account....but I was wondering if I can reply to these?

In other words would it go to the sender of the original IM or would it just go to the email server (or whatever it is - hehe) that is set up to allow this function??

Sorry for being a complete techno phob!!

TIA

Yes you can, simply hit reply and the person in-world receives an IM from you.

Yes you can, but I'm not sure how long you can make them. I usualy try to treat them like PMs, just a line or two.

Bear in mind though that I think this only behaves for the one session. When the writer logs out and in again they get a different number/somesuch and it fails.

Barrowness, check out Sleek for perhaps a more comprehensive method of in and outworld comms: http://delta.slinked.net/programming/sleek/

I would also suggest you to, when you reply by email to an IM, not quote anything from the original message.

Sometimes I get answers by email and the quoted text (with email headers) is a real mess.

'nother reason to remove all quotes and headers is so you're not sharing your email address with everyone

I think they are good for about a week or so, there was mention of it on the blog when they changed the system and I seem to remeber it being a week or two.
