	Umbire edited the page to claim that setting the <code>mail</code> run-time option to false makes mail daemons not exist, even for purposes of statue wishing and the like, just like compiling without mail support does. The MAIL preprocessor definition determines whether the mail daemon is included in monst.c, the monster "master list"; this is then baked into the executable. The <code>mail</code> config file option determines whether you can receive mail during the game, but I don't think it determines whether mail daemons exist, because that could cause compatibility issues. For example, what if you wished for a mail daemon statue, saved the game, then disabled <code>mail</code> before loading again? I'm pretty sure that mail daemons (and scrolls of mail) exist in a game with MAIL compiled in but <code>mail</code> turned off, even if they're not readily available. --[[User:Darth l33t\|Darth l33t]] ([[User talk:Darth l33t\|talk]]) 22:16, 2 July 2021 (UTC)		Umbire edited the page to claim that setting the <code>mail</code> run-time option to false makes mail daemons not exist, even for purposes of statue wishing and the like, just like compiling without mail support does.
