If you have an account on CompuServe, you can ask for a receipt when the
internet mail server receives your message.  Additionally long time ago (4

acceptable format be ascii and no attachments were to go unless permission
asked.  In the beginning, before all the hi-bro browsers, you could not
send attachments through the Net.
