Civ4 PBEM Emailer

Thanks.

After a few false starts, including your latest version not installing over what it regarded as an even later earlier version, I am good to go.

After a few test messages to myself, I've got it working on Hotmail. However the SMTP port I'm using is 587, 25 doesn't seem to work for me gives a send failed message.

You know - this emailer is only good if you remember to actually run it once you have finished playing the pbem. Several times I have forgotten to forward the game and only found the error when I go to email a different game forward.

So - I have modified my code to run 'headless'. If you put 'Headless' in the command line for the program, it will run without interaction with the user and email the games that are ready and waiting (assuming you have selected auto-select games in the options). With this change, you can add a scheduled event to your computer to run this program every (say) hour and never have to worry about forwarding emails again.

I'm testing it at the moment - I will put up a new version once it has cleared UAT.
