Electronic mail is a feature available on many computers
that allows you to send written messages back and forth,
which the computer will deliver. You can think of electronic
mail like regular mail, except that it is much faster and
easier to use.
mail has two modes, send mode and receive mode. First,
the send mode will be reviewed.
