[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]News alert, PP. email is not suitable for emergency messages. [/quote] If you have a portable device set up with alerts, it's a suitable as cell phones or SMS. [/quote] No, Internet mail doesn't work that way. Email isn't suitable for emergencies because it's a store-and-forward service. Most Internet mail uses SMTP, a protocol that doesn't require a server to send on a message as soon as it puts the packets together. Your email might arrive right away or in a few hours or it might not, but you can't tell. Your device, portable or otherwise, can't do anything about that. For an emergency your landline is the first choice, then a cell phone. Unless it's a "work emergency", like a last-minute meeting -- in that case, do as you like, but just don't count on people seeing your email right away. [/quote]
