Introduction


E-Mail, or Electronic Mail, is one of the most popular features of the Internet. Why? It's inexpensive (in most cases, free!), fast (VERY FAST!!!), and fun. You can send someone a file (or even a group of files), a picture, a web site, and a lot more. E-Mail now has support for HTML, so now you can send an E-Mail message with al the features of a web page. Another great thing about E-Mail is that you can send and receive it at any time, kind of like an answering machine. You can also save the messages and reply to them easily. The next page describes a typical E-Mail message.
