I suspect it's mainly to keep people from abusing... er using emails as additional storage space, more so then the already can and do.

That would probably do more to reduce the abuse than keeping us limited to 1 item per email.
Or even better, what I'd REALLY like to see is common storage. Share the vault between characters so I don't have to bounce all over the place trying to recall who's got that Holographic Memory I need at the moment.
Check out the Repeat Offenders network of SGs! You'll be glad you did.
Every item in the game has a unique ID associated with it.
[at least I assume it does, that's how most MMOs deal with creatable/destroyable/decayable/tradable/etc items]
I would assume that they only added one field to hold the attached
item's ID number.
Hence, 1 item at a time attachment.

Identical recipes (same recipe, same level) can be stacked in the market, up to 10. So can identical salvage items. Identical recipes/salvage can can be bid for and bought in stacks.

Other games done that many many times so I dont think it's too complicated thing to do.

Right now, I'd settle for just taking away the 15 second delay when I'm e-mailing my own global.

Hmmm cutting the 60 down to 30 or even 10 days or less to eliminate the bulk spam abuse might work if this was implemented. I am sure there is a logical reason for one item at a time and I would have to guess it is because of spam abuse and people using their global email as an extra storage bin, the dev's probably didn't want this so thus, "one item at a time". |

I've thought about this one ever since I had to move a ton of level 25 IO's over from my toon in Paragon City to my level 22 toon that was in Praetoria. I am very sure this has been brought up before but I figure I would stir the coals again and see what comes up.
Why do we only have the ability to move/attach/email one item at a time? If we wanted to send 10 Enhancements over or maybe a few salvage items to another toon, the attachment box will only hold one item at a time, thus you need to send separate emails for each item.
If this is a "storage" issue through the global email such as when you normally send items you are only allow a certain MB or KB size file to hold that file, not sure? If someone feels gamey and wants to explain why we don't have this feature, then the floor is yours. Even if we had to have a cap on the amount you can send like influence being capped at 999,999,999 per email so your cap on Enhancements might be 10 or 15, the same with salvage items, that would be better than one email at a time,....log off with one toon,.....sign on with another toon,....claim items,...sign back on with first toon,...rinse and repeat. I think you catch my drift here.
