1.1 About EZ-E-Mail
When you register your EZMailBox(tm) address, you join a growing
membership of computer users networked across the nation. As
a member of the EZ-E-Mail Network, you participate in an
organization which centers around the electronic communication
needs of its members.
EZ-E-Mail makes communication among multiple remote locations
simpler, more efficient, and more cost-effective. EZ-E-Mail
uses standard telephone lines to carry electronic mail messages
(E-Mail) between personal computers equipped with the EZMailBox
software as well as other electronic mail services. An E-Mail
message can be correspondence, computer files, worksheets -- any
file stored on your computer system.
EZ-E-Mail is simple and easy to use.
Menu pulldown selections.
There is no need to learn a new editor to compose
E-Mail messages. You can set your favorite text editor
in the EZMailBox Configuration menu selection.
Online help is provided and can be accessed from the main
menu bar. Or you can press [F1] at any time from any point
in the program, and additional online information about
the current selected item will be displayed. To return to
your selected window, press the [Esc] key.

1.2 Advantages of EZ-E-Mail over Fax or direct modem connections.
EZ-E-Mail gives the addressee an editable/usable file upon receipt
of the transmission. Fax does not.
EZ-E-Mail can send to multiple addressees with one transmission.
Fax cannot.
EZ-E-Mail is simpler and more convenient to use. Create your
message once and send it. With Fax, you must type the file,
print it, and then use a Fax machine to send it.
EZ-E-Mail uses telephone lines to transmit/receive messages
without any extra inconvenience. Fax requires either a dedicated
telephone line or special equipment.
EZ-E-Mail software is free of charge. In order to have a
direct connection, both users must purchase the compatible
software. In order to send the messages, one user must first
determine that the other user's telephone line is free. This is
usually done by calling the other party to ensure that the
line will be free to call and accept the connection.
__________________________________________________________________________
1.3 Gateway to other mail services.
Currently, EZ-E-Mail serves as a gateway to MCI Mail(sm),
CompuServe(tm), Internet, usenet, and Fidonet. This
gateway service is provided at no additional charge.
__________________________________________________________________________
1.4 EZ-E-Mail is cost-effective.
Subscribers pay only a flat rate, no message unit fees,
and no extra charge for sending the same message to multiple
addressees. The message is sent once to the Central Post
Office (CPO) and forwarded from there to all the addressees.
Connect time is minimized. Subscribers create all their files
and mail messages BEFORE connecting to the CPO. Mail
messages and files are compressed upon completion. They are
then queued for delivery. Only when you click on the Connect
to CPO selection does the dialup start. Therefore, the only
telephone company charge will be for the amount of time required
to send the queued mail.

1.5 Encryption Protection
Mail messages and files are encrypted upon exiting from the editor.
Upon receipt, the message or file is decrypted automatically.

1.6 Subscription Information and Rates
The first month of EZ-E-Mail service is a trial period and no payment
is due. Thereafter, fees are due and payable in advance by check
or money order either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or yearly.
A user is not fully registered until payment is received by Shecora
Associates, Inc., P.O. Box 7604, Nashua, NH 03060.
Subscribers will be billed electronically for their mail service.
If a check is returned for any reason by the bank, a surcharge of
$15.00 will be assessed. In addition, until the bank return fee and
the subscription fee are paid and cleared, the user's account will
be frozen. The CPO will accept mail to that account, but will not
allow downloading to the user until the account bill is settled.
