What is Email?
“Email” stands for electronic mail. It is the message distributed by electronic means among computer users in a network. An email will be sent from one user and can be distributed to many. The email was initially first used in the 1960s. It took its current form in the 1970s. In fact, some earlier systems required both the sender and receiver to be online which is similar to how instant messaging works today.
Let us see the parts of email and their sub divisions in detail. The popular email services are listed below and are available at free of cost.

Structure of an email
There is a standard structure for emails. Email contents are primarily classified as
two, the header and the body. We are going to see the contents come under the two subparts.
The Header
The email header gives us common details about the message such as the unique identity of the message. The details of the users of the ‘from’ and ‘to’ ends are also stored here. The email header consists of the following parts. However, the exact contents of the header can vary according to the email systems that generate the email message. ( See picture 5)
1) Subject
2) Sender (From:)
3) Date and time received (On)
4) Reply-to
5) Recipient (To:) Picture 4. The header
6) Recipient email address
7) Attachments
Subject
The subject part is the topic of the message. In most email systems, if the content view of the folders is set to view each messages separately, the subject part also will be visible with the user’s name. These subject fields are scanned by the spam scanners to evaluate the messages.( See picture 5)
Sender (From:)
This field describes the ‘from’ address of the email. This will specify the sender’s email address. Usually, it will be the “reply-to” address.
