Parts of an eMail
There are 3 major parts of an email. They are the Header, the Body and the Signature Line.
Header
The header has information about the sender. Some of the information is kept hidden to the reader by the email software (either web-based services such as GMail or software readers such as those by MicroSoft and others). To the reader most readers will see the sender, those that the email was sent to and/or CCed, date and time of the message and the Subject Line. The hidden portion contains information about the routing and usually is only important to those technical type who are troubleshooting a problem.
The Body
The text of the email
Signature Line
This line is used by the sender to give the recipient information about the sender. Many email programs can be set to entered this line automatically on all emails sent.
More on the Subject Line, Body and Signature Line will appear in future articles.
