is email?
Email
is short for 'electronic mail'. Similar to a letter, it is sent via the
internet to a recipient. An email address is required to receive an email, and
that address is unique to the user. Some people use internet-based applications
and some use programs on their computers to access and store emails.

be attached to an email so that more information can be shared.
