Messages sent from one internet user to another, usually private, unlike newsgroup posts. Most email can be traced back to the sender by examining the headers of the message, which shows the system at which the message originated and any systems it passed through between that system and the recipient's system. The administrators of the originating system can determine the identity of the user from those headers, if their system is configured properly and they keep normal system access logs.
