E-mail: Using it… better

Today we did some tasks using e-mail.

1.

We wanted to set the Sender's Name, using the Roman alphabet, so that when you send mail, your name appears and not a number or some strange characters !@#$%^&*+)(?{}±—‚·°‡flfi›‹€⁄. (Kanji appear this way sometimes because many people in the world do not have Japanese characters/fonts in their computers, or they are not decoding the kanji properly.)
Then you will be able to communicate better with other people by e-mail and they won't accidentally throw your mail in the trash!

2.

We wanted to add a "Signature file", a short bit of text which is automatically added to each e-mail. This is convenient because you do not have to type your name and address or other repeated information into every e-mail! You can type it once, and it will be added to every e-mail you send from the Bunkyo IMP mail!

3.

I asked you to use this chance to write me a short self-introduction.

4.

You can set your Bunkyo e-mail to Forward or Redirect your mail to another address. IF YOU DO THIS, YOU SHOULD ALSO SET IT TO LEAVE A COPY IN THE UNIVERSITY E-MAIL. I forgot to tell you that. That way it is like a back-up.

5.

By the way, it is best to write something in the Subject Line of an e-mail. Today, something like "E-mail Task" would be OK.
