Types of E-mail

      As more and more people take advantages of e-mailing, three categories of e-mail have emerged. One category of e-mail is junk mail. When most people sign on to their computers, they are greeted with a flood of get-rich-quick schemes, invitations to commercial websites, and ads for a variety of unwanted products. E-mail users quickly become good at hitting the "delete" button to get rid of this garbage. The second category that fills up most people's electronic mailbox is forwarded mail, most of which also gets deleted without being read. The third and best category of e-mail is genuine personal e-mail from genuine personal friends. Getting such real, thoughtful e-mail can almost make up for the irritation of the other two categories.
