E-mailing a list as seperate lines

Now i'm sure I could use a ton of single commands for each line of the list seperately, but that seems incredibly stupid.

Is it possible to change a list to a string and have the list items seperated by carriage returns and e-mail that?

Thanks

Presumably using the \n string would do that? Like:
llEmail(me@myurl.com, "A list!", llDumpList2String(listName, "\n";));

Where are you sending the e-mail? If it's to another scripted SL object, I'd suggest sending the whole list as one string and then parsing it on receipt.

You could run a loop...kind of a ...for each item in list x, string = string + list item x + \n.

address and subj are limited to 78 characters each.
message is limited to 1023 characters.

Sending out of world you can have more than 1023 characters, I think it's 4096, but that includes the 'header' text.

Yes. There is also an automatic insertion of the \n as stated below when communicating off-world:

"The length of the entire email is limited to 4096 characters, including the subject, message, and other headers (such as address), as well as CR + LF and the prepended lines to the body.

In the message, the "\n" escape sequence is translated into "\r\n" (CR + LF) in order to generate RFC 2821 compatible line terminators. If you don't include them yourself, such a line terminator is automatically inserted after every 998 (exact number) characters (as required by the SMTP standard)."

Don't forget to take this into account on the other end when parsing the string segments back together.
