Here's another funny thing:

For some reason, my new Khajit character ended up with a carrying capacity of about "7" (I really don't know why. Maybe I messed something up in character creation).

So he was overencumbered already at the new game, but I did not noticed that until I used him to test the quest I'm currently writing. I wanted to give him a "letter" type item named _BHCIssue_ ("give pc _BHCIssue_ notify 1020").

"Okay", I thought, "then let's strip him of all his gear, so he has enough capacity left for the really lightweight letter". But to no avail, even when only 1 of his 7 capacity was used, he could not be given the item (and also never showed the "1020" message).

So I tried again with two other new characters, both with a more common carrying capacity (of about "80"). Here, the same quest worked as intended; they got the item and showed the message "1020".

So it seems that the carrying capacity must be somehow related to the "give pc" command. Which I understand. But I do not understand why the letter's weight is 0.10 kg and having 6 out of 7 carrying capacity is not enough. (Picking up default game items of the same weight worked.)

This is nothing to do with encumbrance, the code doesn't check that.

Hmm... thanks for the clarification. I wonder what else might be different with that particular character then.

Edit: Ok, part of the mystery has cleared a bit. The low encumbrance was due to the Climates & Cloaks mod and my char standing for hours without real clothing in the cold. This lowered it so much. I have deactivated the mod for now, but still have the same problem with that particular character -- he simply does not get the item, whereas all other characters I have tested get the item with the identical quest file.
