Electronic mail sure has become popular. Everyone seems to have an e-mail address on their business cards, messages fly around offices, and around the world, and the occasional sage predicts the death of the Post Office. We're not too worried about the Post Office, but we can't imagine going back to life before e-mail. It's like life without the telephone.

If you find e-mail a bit mystifying, want to know more ways you can make e-mail work for you, or have a friend whom you'd like to get on-line, we've got just the book for you.

New in the second edition:

• Fully updated coverage of Netscape Communicator 4.0 and Internet Explorer 3.0.
• Free e-mail with Juno On-line
• Instant communications with on-line chat
