Emails usually have two main parts:1. The header generally includes these: TO (name and address of the recipient), CC (carbon copy sent to another addressee), BCC (blank / blind carbon copy), SUBJECT (topic of the message) 2. The body (the message itself). Some email programs also include a signature, with added information about the sender, at the end of the message. You can make your message look more expressive or attractive by using smileys (also called emoticons): little pictures either made with characters from the keyboard such as:-) for happy,:-o surprised,:-(sad, etc. or downloaded images and animations.
