Guide Review - KidzMail 1.5 - Email Program
Email can be a lot of fun, but often it also is unfriendly: spam, viruses and hoaxes are sure to arrive in everybody's mailbox. If you don't want your children to receive any of these, you should make sure they can communicate with certain people only. KidzMail makes setting up such an address book easy.
Unfortunately, KidzMail does not require the sender to authenticate in any way (via pass phrase or, preferrably, an electronic signature, for example), though. Creating emails and drawings (and drawings in emails) is a lot of fun with KidzMail, and adding some text is easy.
Support for richer HTML text formatting would be nice and could spice up the messages even more.
