it on the <a href="//www.freelists.org/list/haiku-doc";>Documentation
mailing list</a> to avoid duplication.</p>
+<p>In Haiku, a mail_daemon running in the background is responsible for
retrieving and sending emails from/to your email accounts. Emails are kept as
separate files with a number of attributes, e.g. To, From, Subject, Thread
etc., that are automatically filled from the email headers. Accounts, email
file locations and other settings for receiving/sending are configured in the
<a href="../preferences/e-mail.html">E-mail preferences</a>.</p>
+<p>Once your mails are downloaded from your provider's server, you can create
custom queries to quickly find specific mails. Double-clicking a mail launches
the preferred mail application, by default Mail.</p>

+<img src="../images/apps-images/mail.png" />
+<p>When opening an email or creating a new one, Mail's window shows above the
body of the mail the usual email header fields: recepient (<span
class="menu">To</span>), sender account (<span class="menu">From</span>),
encoding setting (<span class="menu">Encoding</span>), subject line (<span
class="menu">Subject</span>), carbon copy (<span class="menu">CC</span>) and
blind carbon copy (<span class="menu">BCC</span>).</p>
+<p>When creating a new mail, <span class="menu">To</span>, <span
class="menu">CC</span> and <span class="menu">BCC</span> are drop-down menus
that hold the entries of your person files, see topic <a
