Usability Glossary: email


by far the most common groupware application (ignoring of course, the traditional telephone). While the basic technology is designed to pass simple messages between 2 people, even relatively basic email systems of today typically include interesting features for forwarding messages, filing messages, creating mailing groups, and including files with the message. Other features that have been explored include: automatic sorting and processing of messages, automatic routing, and structured communication (messages requiring certain information).
