The results of the rolls are automatically displayed in the Chat Window and will be recorded into an open logfile. There is no need to wait for the email to return before continuing with your turn. Your opponent can check the emailed result file against the logfile at their leisure.

Using the Roller
Click on the Internet Die Roller Icon, or press the F6 function key to bring

email address at the top of the box. If this is incorrect, use the 'Change
Email Address' button at the bottom right of the dialog box and select the
correct email address from the drop-down list.
When you are ready, click the 'Roll' button to submit the roll request. The
results of you roll(s) will be emailed to yourself and your opponent and
will be echoed automatically into the Chat Window. This process usually
takes a few seconds only.
Problems

you will receive a message 'Internet Dice Roll Attempt Failed' echoed to
the Chat Window.
