There are plenty of examples where I skim messages and miss the point too!

Sorry if I did that this time! :)

Yes you can do that and there are a few different ways to do that as well.

Lets say you want an e-mail sent to you whenever a user runs the door LORD and you have a LORD menu item in your door menu.  It might look like this:

Display Text | (L)ORD
HotKey       | L

Action List
(DD) Execute external program                      lord.bat

So what you could do is TAB so you can edit that Action List and when the "(DD) Execute..." line is highlighted you can /I to insert an action before it. 

Press ENTER on the new action that was created, then select "Command" and pick "(MX) Post text file to base".

In the "Data" field set it to:
runlord.txt;1;Mystic BBS;IB Joe;LORD has been executed

Then exit out and save it.

Mystic should now e-mail "IB Joe" with whatever text is in "runlord.txt" in your DATA folder.  This will happen any time someone selects the LORD command (hotkey L) on the menu.

I hope that helps I may not be the best at explaining, but I will try to help you through it.  Your "Menu Command/Action list" in the menu editor would now look something like this:

Display Text | (L)ORD
      HotKey | L

Action List
(MX) Post text file to base              runlord.txt;1;
(DD) Execute external program            lord.bat

In other words, Mystic will do whatever is in the Action List anytime the L key is pressed on that menu, and your Action List tells it to e-mail you and then run the door.
