      With HB-2.0.0.3582, the HBteam snuck a nifty new feature in that wasn't in the release notes... basically, they resolved Bugtracker #379.

      In addition to Protected Items.xml, we now have a ForceMail.xml. So, each user is now completely in charge of his loot disposition.

      Users, if you don't have a Protected Items.xml or ForceMail.xml file, go create them now. No more fiddling with, or blaming the profile for selling or not mailing your loot. Yes, Now! <pulls out her 'pro' macro> Go go go!

      Profile Writers, this means you should include neither a <ForceMail>, nor a <ProtectedItems> element in your profiles.

      I've updated the following Wiki pages to reflect this new feature...
      [wiki]Honorbuddy: About ProtectedItems and ForceMail[/wiki]
      [wiki]Honorbuddy: A prototypical ForceMail Element[/wiki]
      [wiki]Honorbuddy: A prototypical ProtectedItems Element[/wiki]
      [wiki]Honorbuddy Profile Tag: ForceMail[/wiki]
      [wiki]Honorbuddy Profile Tag: ProtectedItems[/wiki]
      [wiki]Farming Starter Profile[/wiki]
      [wiki]Grinding Starter Profile[/wiki]
      [wiki]Quest Order Starter Profile[/wiki]

      Thanks, HBteam!

      It means you create a <honorbuddy_install_directory>/ForceMail.xml file with the following contents...
      Code:
       <ForceMail>
          <Item Name="Heavy Junkbox" Entry="16885" />
       
          <!-- ...and whatever else you'd like mailed... -->
       </ForceMail>
      
      The Wiki contains a good start for this ForceMail.xml file that you can edit as you see fit. The information is here...
      [wiki]Honorbuddy: A prototypical ForceMail Element[/wiki]

      In fact now that I look, the Heavy Junkbox is already contained in that list, since it is a 'rep' item.


      You can remove the <ProtectedItems> and <ForceMail> elements from any profile you use after doing this--they are not needed as the contents of the corresponding Protected Items.xml and ForceMail.xml files will be used, instead. I'd restart Honorbuddy after making any modifications to ForceMail.xml.


      A complete explanation of this machinery can be found here...
      [wiki]Honorbuddy: About ProtectedItems and ForceMail[/wiki]


      cheers,

      Not all profiles have either or both elements. As of now, its great if they don't.

      Being paranoid, I tested it the other night myself. You don't have to wait if you spread your food or drink out into your bag. Just unstack 1 item and have it consume a slot. Do this until your bag is full, then start Honorbuddy. It may go do some things first, but it should go mail very shortly after that.

      cheers,

      It would be super awesome if protopally updated his DHT Protected Items plugin and also made a ForceMail plugin to go along with it that worked with the newest HB.
