As an electronic method of messaging, it is fast and convenient, and includes all the steps of the delivery of a message to a recipient - writing, sending, receiving and saving. A received message can be handled in a variety of ways - it can be stored in a text file, forwarded to other users or just deleted. 
The contents of an email message can be some lines of keyboard typed text or files stored on a computer, or both. The Email is the main method of business communication worldwide due to its flexibility and reliability. One of its best features is that a message can be sent to several users simultaneously.

6. What does HTTP stands for?
1.  Hypertext Transfer Protocol
2.  Hypertext Transfer Plotter
3.  Head Tail Transfer Plot
4.  Head Tail Transfer Protocol
Answer: A

 What is HTTP?
HTTP, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is the application-level protocol that is used
to transfer data on the Web.  HTTP comprises the rules by which Web browsers and
servers exchange information.  Although most people think of HTTP only in the context
of the World-Wide Web, it can be, and is, used for other purposes, such as distributed
object management systems.
How Does HTTP Work?
HTTP Is a request-response protocol.  For example, a Web browser initiates a
request to a server, typically by opening a TCP/IP connection.  The request itself
comprises
1.  a request line, 
2 .a set of request headers, and
3.an entity.  
The server sends a response that comprises
1.  a status line, 
2. a set of response headers, and
3. an entity. 
The entity in the request or response can be thought of simply as the payload,
which may be binary data.  The other items are readable ASCII characters.  When the
response has been completed, either the browser or the server may terminate the
TCP/IP connection, or the browser can send another request.
An Example
As an illustration of HTTP, here is an example exchange between a Web browser and
the Silicon Press server, www.silicon-press.com.  In response to a user request to go
to the URL
http://www.silicon.press.com
the browser sends the following HTTP request to www.silicon-press.com:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/2.2-11; Linux)
www.silicon-press.com
Email: info@silicon-press.com
Tel: 908-273-8919    Fax: 908-273-6149
© Silicon PressAccept: text/*, image/jpeg, image/png, image/*, */*
Accept-Encoding: x-gzip, gzip, identity
Accept-Charset: Any, utf-8, *
