API GetSendMailItem

Returns info for an item attached in the outgoing message. name, itemID, texture, count, quality = GetSendMailItem(index)

• index: - The index of the attachment to query, in the range of [1,ATTACHMENTS_MAX_SEND]

• name: - The localized name of the item
• itemID: - Numeric ID of the item.
• texture: - The icon texture for the item
• count: - The number of items in the stack
• quality: - The quality index of the item (0-6)

The following code will loop over all the items currently attached to the send mail frame, and print information about them to the chat frame:

for i = 1, ATTACHMENTS_MAX_SEND do local name, itemID, texture, count, quality = GetSendMailItem(i) if name then -- Construct an inline texture sequence: print("You are sending", "\124T"..texture..":0\124t", name, "x", count) end end

• Requires that the mailbox window is open.
• ATTACHMENTS_MAX_SEND is defined in Constants.lua, and currently (Jan 2014) has a value of 12. Using this variable instead of a hardcoded 12 is recommended in case Blizzard changes the maximum number of items that may be attached to a single message.
• As of 2.3.3 this function is bugged and the quality is always returned as -1. If you need to know the item's quality, get a link for the item using, and pass the link to.
