(computer science) a system of world-wide electronic
communication in which a computer user can compose a message at one terminal
that is generated at the recipients terminal when he logs in communicate
electronically on the computer; "she e-mailed me the good news" Electronic mail, most
commonly referred to as email or e-mail since c. 1993,[2] is a method of
exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients. Modern
email operates across the Internet or other computer networks. Some early email
systems required that the author and the recipient both be online at the same
time, in common with instant messaging. Today's email systems are based on a
store-and-forward model. Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and store
messages. Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online
simultaneously; they need connect only briefly, typically to an email server,
for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.An Internet email message [NB
1] consists of three components, the message envelope, the message header, and
the message body. The message header contains control information, including,
minimally, an originator's email address and one or more recipient addresses.
Usually descriptive information is also added, such as a subject header field
and a message submission date/time stamp.
