ACK.  However, my point was, of course, that the World Wide Web and e-mail 
are different Internet applications, and are both implementing the client-
server model.  Assuming that a *public* *Web* *server* could communicate 
with an *e-mail* *client* (running on another, *private* machine) shows a 
lack of basic Internet knowledge required to arrive at a working 
implementation.
