Sinister: virtual cards

a few people have complained about the way that the script that runs the
virtual postcards on the fanclub site deletes the cards after viewing
them , which means that if you're having connection problems the card is
being deleted whilst you havn't actually viewed it, and when you go back
it gives you an error message.

as i need to be able to delete card sautomatically after they have been
collected (otherwise my space will over-run with old cards and then i'd
be no more!) i have changed a different part of the script.

when you receive your notification e-mail saying that you have been sent
a card, it will now let you know the name and e-mail address of the
sender, this way should anything happen you can just ask them to send
another.

but for this to work people mustn't send anonymous cards, it makes no
sense if the person you intended it for has trouble and can never
collect your good intentions.
