Yes, I have been thinking about doing this for a very long time. I have
thought of a number of things for why it is not good, but not many for doing
it.
1. If they are using the mud, they already have an Internet account, and
so an e-mail address.
2. If they are using the mud, they can just go to hotmail and get a
better account than could be offered by the mud.
3. If they have an e-mail address on the mud, they might use it for
things they shouldn't, such as spam.
However, it is good because
1. Being able to get and receive e-mail through the mud would be really
awesome.
2. It would enhance the mud and make it much more attractive to people.
(Maybe)
Another however, is that I cannot think of any other good things for it.

However, if they are using the mud, they probably already have an e-mail
account, so it doesn't actually *help* them.

This sounds to me more like a Freshmeat approach, I would willingly
set up a website for this, 'cept I have no clue where to start, and I
really stink at designing websites (The behind code on the other
hand.. :)
Duh.. not really anything in my mind right now
ObCircle:
Has anyone besides me toyed with the idea of letting players receive
email through the mud, such as <playername>@domain .. I have been
thinking about it, and I think it would be a nice idea, even though
I'm pondering how to do it, should be something with :
Received mail for a playername ends up in the mailfile, and the
player can then check it, maybe even reply.. Ugh.. now I'm rambling
again.. :)
