Chapter 2 Summary

Well, it would be a lie to say that I never experienced e-mail before.  However, while both “mail” and “email” have “mail” in them, never would I have thought it would have been attributed to a mail service.

For the most part, I knew about the anatomy of an e-mail, particularly the purpose of “To” and the body.  However, I could never remember the point of the “Cc” and “Bcc” fields.  I have only used “Cc” perhaps once in recent memory when I was sending my accommodations letters to teachers.  Looking at the definitions of them, they appear to be like secondary recipients.  It sounds like something I would barely use myself, but I suppose it can prove that I submitted an email if one were to want to ask.

I already know what attachments are for emails, so I otherwise would not care, but something that had gotten my attention was how much space an attachment can take up.  Since my laptop is facing some storage issues, it is something that greatly intrigues me.  I will not get into how I am doing it, since the how is very irrelevant, but I have learned that a kilobyte is made of about 1,000 characters.  Now, I should be taking it with a grain of salt, considering the example is of a .docx file and thus other files may take up different amounts of space, but it can perhaps create incentive to work out ways to condense files down to take up smaller amounts of space while yielding the same result.
