First they have to be logged on. :)
I suppose you could look up their password and log them on,
though. Then again, you could just read the mail files in
that case too. If they're playing though there's no way
to read their mail without them knowing your doing it.
That's one problem with the load char solution: it doesn't
let you secretly read the other player's mail. Not while
they're logged on, at least. If they aren't logged on you
have to do some cutting and pasting to resend it. Plus the
date will be messed up, though they aren't likely to catch
that. An ideal mail reading command would let you browse
the subject lines and senders of the mail for each person
(assuming you have proper access). Including keyword
searching for things like "bug", etc. That assumes you
really want to take the 1984 approach to reading mail,
though. =)
