Brief Description
Electronic mail (abbreviated "e-mail" or "email") is a store and forward method of composing, sending, storing, and receiving messages over electronic communication systems. The term "email" applies both to the Internet email system based on the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and to intranet systems allowing users within one organization to email each other. Both plain text and HTML are used to convey email. While text is certain to be read by all users without problems, many users feel that HTML-based email has a higher aesthetic value. Advantages of HTML include the ability to include inline links and images, set apart previous messages in block quotes, wrap naturally on any display, use emphasis such as underlines and italics, and change font styles. HTML emails often include an automatically-generated plain text copy as well, for compatibility reasons. An e-mail client, also called a mail user agent (MUA), is a computer program that is used to receive and send e-mail.
