The use of /emailsend

A quick question about a command that's probably only used for spamming in all but few cases - how do you use /emailsend when it comes to players with spaces in their names? Specifically, I want to set up a macro to email another player a short guide to Architect Chat channel, rather than having to fiddle with the email forwarding. I've tried this as a test on a character named Quinch PG;

/emailsend "$name" "test" "test"

but I get the error " Email not sent, because these recipients do not exist: PG", so apparently the game parses the spaces as recepient separators. Using it on a single-word character works perfectly, but I'd probably hit a major hitch if I tried using $target for the recepient.

That's odd. All I get is "unknown command" when I try that. ><

You need all three parameters - if you just try /emailsend it returns unknown command.

$target does not seem to act the same way... but it doesn't seem to want to actually send unless your target is within targetable range.

For example:
I clicked on somebody on my friend's list, and $target still shows their name while using chat binds, but when trying to use $target to send the e-mail, it says "$target" does not exist"
But when the target is standing next to me, the same exact line of code sent the e-mail successfully, even with spaces in the name.

In short.. what you are trying to do SHOULD work, providing you are conducting this tutorial session "in-person".
