This is what I think an e-mail is
An electronic mail is done through the Internet and can be view on an electronic device from a computer to a handset.
"In computer terms, email is short for electronic mail. It is a more up to date method of transmitting data, text files, digital photos, and audio and video files from one computer to another over the internet. This phenomenon did not become popular until 1990 and now it is a major business and personal communications."

"UW Medicine providers and staff will use reasonable means to protect the security and confidentiality of any information sent and received by e-mail. Patients should understand that there are known and unknown risks that may affect the privacy of personal health care information when using e-mail to communicate. Those risks include, but are not limited, to:
- E-mail may be forwarded, printed, and stored in numerous paper and electronic forms and be received by many intended and unintended recipients without a patient’s knowledge or agreement.
- E-mail may be sent to the wrong address by any sender or receiver.
- E-mail may be easier to forge than handwritten or signed papers.
- Copies of e-mail may exist even after the sender or the receiver has deleted his or her copy.
- E-mail service providers have a right to archive and inspect e-mails.
- E-mail may be intercepted, altered, or used without detection or authorization.
- E-mail may spread computer viruses.
- E-mail delivery is not guaranteed. "
