E-mail is a text based mail consisting of lines of  text, and can include file attachments. These attachments could be pictures, documents,  spreadsheets, audio files, video files etc.  The key features of e-mail are as follows: • E-mail can be sent to one person or more than one person at the same time. • The recipient of e-mail can open the e-mail at his/her convenience. • Since messages are transmitted electronically over internet, it is a faster way to  communicate with the people. Persons could be located in the same office, home,  building, or anywhere in the world. • E-mail messages can be sent or received at any time and are typically sent over a  network (office network or more likely internet). • If so desired, a copy of the e-mail message that the sender has sent can be saved in  the sender’s computer e-mail account for later ref
