[JA] Juno vs Internet mail

The main protocols previously in use for "Internet mail," way, way back
when I still had 'net access were SMTP, IMAP, and POP. When I hear
someone say "real email" or "internet mail" I think of a MUA which can
handle all three. Most "real" mail user interfaces (MUA's) send using
SMTP, receive using POP, and can handle IMAP.
But then again I'm not involved in the extended conversation...
I hope this reached exactly the right people and list, I did a reply all
and added myself.

Usually "real" email can be sent right when you press the send button.
Without dialing, without this, without that, using a live connection to
the 'net. As far as I can tell. Hope this helps. Your mailage may
vary.
(Sorry about that. No really, I couldn't resist. Mileage versus
mailage. What, you don't think it's funny?!? Well, duh, why do you
think I apologized? :-)
