Murder girl e-mail talked of 'new man' |
|
A SOUTH Korean student whose decomposed body was found in a suitcase is believed to have sent an e-mail home shortly before her death saying that she had met a new man. Detectives investigating the murder of Hyo Jung Jin, 21, in North Yorkshire last October are liasing with officers in London after another South Korean student, In Hea Song, 22, went missing last month from Poplar, East London. In what is believed to have been her last e-mail, sent to her parents in South Korea on October 26, Miss Hyo said that she had met a man who was kind and had shown her the sights of London. It was her last contact with her family. ... »

Unsolicited e-mail invading our computers |
|
Since the computer on my desk in the Star Courier newsroom was hooked up to the Internet a few months ago, it has become a first-thing-in-the-morning ritual to remove from three to 20 unsolicited e-mails having nothing to do with news, not sent directly to anyone here at the newspaper, and always dealing with an easy way to borrow money or improve your sex life. Some initial screens are quite graphic and I can see the concern of parents over Internet use by their children. ... »

Get a two-way fix for e-mail cravings |
|
Ever find yourself on the road wishing that you could quickly check to see if a particular e-mail has come in? If so, a two-way e-mail device might just be what you need. If you are an e-mail addict like me, two-way e-mail devices offer the best fix for this constant craving. Three features make this a killer application. First, I can receive a copy of all the e-mails that come into my office e-mail box. Second, I can reply to and send e-mails using my company e-mail address. That way, contacts don't know that I'm not in the office when I correspond with them. Finally, these wireless devices feature an "always on" mode that lets me receive and send e-mails continuously. While these features may be available elsewhere, two-way e-mail devices pull them together most effectively. ... »
