This section presents two applications for reading and sending of e-mails.
One program is known as pine. Its environment is similar to the pico editor
and is self-explanatory. The options are at the bottom of the window. Type
pico
To send an e-mail press first c, then type the message and hit CTRL x to send it.
Another e-mail program is called mail.
Type
mail
The program will list the messages in your mailbox. To read message #3, for example, type
3 (enter)
Press
h (enter)
for help and
q (enter)
to quit the program. The mail software needs some practice but its knowledge pays off as you will see later.
