Extra Features You May Enjoy
The major e-mail packages are continually embroiled in a "one-upmanship" contest, in which each new version brings a new feature that the competitor doesn't have yet. Some of these features are really wonderful, while others you may never need. Here are some of the fancy extra things that some e-mail packages do:
- Send and receive faxes (by linking to an external fax program).
- Attach a "signature" file containing several lines of text that you specify to the end of each e-mail you send.
- Send multiple attached files with a single e-mail.
- Send a message to various recipients via different media (for instance, e-mail the message to some people and fax it to others).
- Unscramble a message with ROT-13 (an easy-to-break code in which every letter is moved ahead 13 letters in the alphabet, so A becomes N, for instance).
- Manage e-mail from several sources in a single location (such as intra-office e-mail, Internet e-mail, and mail from on online service).
- Use a word processor to compose messages.
