Abstract

The rapid growth of the Internet means there is more email traffic now than ever before, and there will be still more in years to come. There was a time when only hard-core hackers had to deal with significant amounts of email. As email becomes a standard medium of communication, and more and more nonprogrammers join mailing lists, an increasing number of people find themselves receiving large amounts of email and must cope with it.
