To learn how to access the Internet by e-mail, you should send for
Gerald Boyd's ACCMAIL FAQ. The ACCMAIL FAQ or "Accessing the Internet
by E-mail" is a beginner's tutorial on using e-mail to access the
Internet. You can learn to use e-mail to get web pages, download
files, read and post to newsgroups, and much more. Highly recommended.
You can obtain the ACCMAIL FAQ in one of many ways:
(If you are from North or South America)
TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
BODY: send usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email
--
(If you are from Europe or Asia or elsewhere)
TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
BODY: send lis-iis e-access-inet.txt
--
(For anyone and everyone - the direct method)
TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
SUBJECT: send accmail.faq
--
(WWW site access)
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/internet-services/access-via-email/
----------
Study and practice the methods taught to you in the ACCMAIL FAQ before
attempting to learn more about searching the WWW by e-mail. After you
are comfortable with retrieving WWW files by e-mail, then you will be
ready to learn in more depth about searching the WWW by e-mail:

The above WWWSearch faqs are just one of at least a couple more methods
you can utilize to search the WWW by e-mail. You can use GetWeb and
Iliad servers to search the WWW.
Since our SeeknFind list is designed to lead you to the information, we
cannot go into any details on ACCMAIL methods. So in that vein, I
recommend you join the ACCMAIL mailing list, whose purpose is to
discuss accessing the Internet by E-mail:
