Electronic Mail Survival Guide
Abstract
General concepts of electronic mail communications are discussed, including many advantages and some words of caution about using email compared to traditional forms of communications. The electronic mail programs available at NOSC are described. Some handy email tips and etiquette guidelines are also given so that people can improve their on-the-job effectiveness through the use of email. Email is an electronic form of communication between users of computer systems. A user types a message from the PC or computer terminal keyboard into the email system, which in turn routes it to the addressees. The recipients receive their mail in their own personal 'mailboxes,' which are computer files on one of the host computers. Email messages can also be forwarded, replied to, or broadcast to many users at once. Specific procedures for the different email programs available at NOSC are described later in this guide.
