Guide Review - riteMail - Email Program

Email is mostly text. Sure, you can attach images, but this is merely a crutch if you want to send a quick sketch of how you can be reached by train, for example, and something written by hand still looks a lot more personal.

Something written by hand like a riteMail message. Using an easy to use Java applet, riteMail allows you to send handwritten emails, sketches and drawings from any browser. The clever system used by riteMail will even recognize when you want to draw geometrical shapes and make them perfect. On the recipient's end is a Java applet, too, or an image if Java doesn't work.

Sending and receiving riteMail is great fun, but you lose one of email's biggest assets: searching riteMail messages for information can be difficult.
