A wedding of linkable Web pages and regular email, HTML email is a growing medium for Internet communications, and it's getting easier to use.

HTML email lets you surf an email in-box with a browser to receive daily newsletters, weather updates, gardening tips, or whatever, and to send things like homemade picture postcards to your friends - all with the look and feel of Web pages. With a basic knowledge of Web design and a touch of email savvy, you, too, can offer your own content in this quickly-evolving format.

To use HTML email, you need a Web-based email account - one that supports standard mail protocols like POP (Post Office Protocol), IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol), SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), and MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions). Free accounts are available from HotMail, iName, RocketMail, MailCity, netMessenger, iMailBox, and others. If you already have a POP3 or IMAP account, recent versions of Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer include mail programs that read HTML email.
