Electronic mail using Pine
Readings:
Using electronic mail
You will find electronic mail to be a great tool to use to communicate
with a wide variety of people. Particularly in ECS15, we communicate
via electronic mail (email) often.
If you aren't familiar with email, Lab 0 is designed to bring you
up to speed with the concepts and give you experience sending and
receiving email.
Pine demonstration
During the first Laboratory for each lab section, the ECS15 staff will
demonstrate how to use the Pine program to read your electronic
mail on the Information Technology Unix machines.
To do this, you will first open a session on a Unix machine with
a Telnet program. Then you will start the Pine program. In lab 3,
you will be using many more programs on the Unix machines, and also
learn more about the Internet and the World Wide Web.
Other Email packages
If you are comfortable using another email package like Eudora or
unix mail or xmh, you are welcome to use them for this course.
You will need to use email to receive the comments on your
term paper and other uses during the quarter.
