So how did this modern wonder come into existence? In a nutshell, the first version of the Internet was started during the 1960s in the United States as ARPAnet, a defence department network. One computer was linked to another to share information. Gradually, more computers were added to the network, and people began to send simple messages over the network to distant colleagues. This, at that time, incredible communications platform was adopted by the academic community and, with vast improvements added by European computer wizards, became the friendly tool we refer to as the Internet today.

As a form of international communication, the Internet has been in constant expansion since 1973, when the ARPAnet was first connected to the United Kingdom and Norway. Much of northern Europe was connected to the Net in the early 1980s. Japan and Canada soon followed suit. A special link was established between Germany and China at about the same time. And then in the late 1980s the real growth began as Australia, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand and Puerto Rico joined the Net.

There is no charge for this service, since advertisers cover most of the operating costs, but there are two definite drawbacks to using Web-based e-mail. Firstly, the services are so popular that access to your mail can be very slow, and
secondly, because you must usually be online to use the service, you will be paying telephone and ISP charges for the entire time it takes you to read and reply to your messages.

The most common mistake people make when they want to delete their address from a mailing list is to send a message to the list itself, so everyone but the computer they wish to communicate with ends up reading their note. So first, check the welcome message for the original e-mail address; the one that you subscribed to. Then send the unsubscribe message, NO subject, NO signature. You should receive an automated reply telling you that your message was received successfully.
