Abstract

Electronic Mail is the forwarding of message content by electronic means, and is normally associated with communications between people. In the case of traditional postal service (as opposed to Electronic Mail), the document is physically delivered to its destination using transportation methods. In electronic mail, the content of the message is transformed into electrical signals and forwarded over communication channels for at least some portion of its journey.
