Is it possible to control a scripted object by email or IM. I would like a scripted object, something like a light or a sign that I could activate and de-activate from either an IM remotely or preferably an email to the object. Can this be done?

Thank's. I may be able to get my head around that. One bit I am curious about...

"Please note that when you teleport, your attachments are derezzed and re-rezzed at the new location. This means that they will all receive new keys (see llGetKey) and that emailing scripts in attachments is therefore a bit tricky."

I thought an objects key was fixed like and AV's key. Does this mean if I derez and object and at some later date rez it again then It will have a different key?
