It would be best with datums.

Email
    var
        sender //who sent it?
        receipient //who gets it?
        mes //message
        file/attachment //maybe have an attachment
    proc
        Send()
        Attach()
        Return()

mob/var/Email/list/mailbox //where the emails go


Hope this helps.

Or, you could just give a player a list that will contain all pending email messages. What I would do for ultimate control would be to create an multidimensional associative list. A player would type in a key, add it to the list if it wasn't found, and leave a list of messages.
