Mail paper is part of the mail system for mail supplies. It is the "newer" form of paper that was released as part of the mail system. Its paper can be FOLDed and then sealed with the appropriate wax and signet.
A single sheet of paper has a maximum character limit of up to 15 blocks of 900 characters each. Blocks will automatically separate into paragraphs, but carriage returns can be added manually by inserting "|" for each line break. Two "||" are needed to create a space between paragraphs. To write using mail paper, hold the paper in one hand and a writing implement in the other and use the format of WRITE <paper>;<message>. Writing a new sentence after having written on the paper will automatically add a single space in between the previous text and the next sentence. If the new sentence would cause the current block of text to go over 900 characters, a new paragraph will be automatically added with a space between it and the previous paragraph.
Mail paper can be written in any known language except Guildspeak. Use SPEAK <language> before writing anything to set the language for the entire sheet of paper. Languages cannot be changed midway through a single piece of paper. Mail paper cannot have a message erased once it has been written. If a mistake has been made, the document will need to be re-written on a new sheet of mail paper. Mail paper can be permanently destroyed via TOSS or THROW, which do not prompt for confirmation.
Mail paper can be made via a Tier 2 Papermaker.
Mail paper is different from stationery paper, which utilizes the stationery system.
Analyze
You analyze the ivory parchment and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
This is a sheet of writeable paper that can be used for letter-writing. When writing letters, you can have up to 15 blocks of 900 characters each. Blocks will automatically separate into paragraphs, but you can add carriage returns manually by inserting "|" characters. The parchment can be TOSSed or THROWN away when you are done with it.
You get no sense of whether or not the parchment may be further lightened.
