Written Text

 

The text is an e-mail or an electronic mail. An email message is made up of several parts. They include :

• header ----It contains information about the sender, the routing and the time of the message. The header always contains a subject line. This is very important part of the message and you should always include a subject line. Some folks sort their messages by subject, so it is rude to not include a subject.
• message body, where you write your message.
• signature, which identifies the sender. This part is optional and must be set up inside of your email software.
