I think that's the way, mail is picked up by a matching id number on the
player, IE it's not name specific, so you delete a player you delete
that id, never to be recreated unless you do a pwipe.  It should
probably be deleted by the player delete routine, but it's not.  You
could keep track of names and id numbers and rematch an id number to a
name...

Then again I'm not sure if that answers your question...
