	Chainmail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mail can generally be punctured by a spear or shorn by the blow from a heavy axe or sword (although riveted chainmail is much stronger), and its flexibility means that its wearer is still vulnerable to blunt weapons.
		Mail was invented some time in the mid 1st millennium BC, but it is unknown where and by whom it was first used.
		A mail fringe, designed by Captain Cruise of the British Infantry, was added to helmets to protect the face but this proved unpopular with soldiers, in spite of being proven to defend against a three-ounce shrapnel round fired at a distance of one hundred yards (92.3m).

	Regia Anglorum - Arms and Armour of the Anglo-Saxon and Viking Age - Mail Armour
		Mail of the period was made by cutting thin strips of iron from a piece of sheet, or drawing iron wire through a draw-plate, and winding this around a cylindrical former.
		Gambesons were usually worn under mail (perhaps even attached to it) and would tend to be a similar outline to the mailshirt, although it is possible they could have been worn on their own by poorer warriors.
		Mail coifs, or 'healsbeorgs', were worn from the ninth century and tended to cover the top and back of the head, the cheeks, chin, neck and perhaps some of the shoulders.

	Chain E-Mail
		Chain e-mail is defined as any message sent to one or more people that asks the recipient to forward it to multiple others and contains some promise of reward for forwarding it or threat of punishment for not doing so.
		Chain e-mail messages have the same content as chain letters but are sent through e-mail networks rather than the U.S. Mail.
		One of the problems posed by chain messages is that the ever-expanding number of messages, with their ever-expanding headers, have the ability to clog a network, particularly one that is low-speed or has limited gateway ability.

	E-Mail Chain Letters - The Police Notebook
		Just as we'd want to forward an urgent "virus alert" we'd just received to all our friends, when someone receives an e-mail message telling of a brave little girl, dying of cancer, who's last wish is to receive the most email messages in the world, they want to send it to their friends.
		This limited the extent to which chain letters were passed on, because sending them involved a real, up front cost in time to type the letters and money for stamps.
		Another problem with chain letters (however well-meaning) particularly on the Internet via e-mail, is that they can develop "a life of their own" completely separate from reality.

		This letter bears all the classic hallmarks of a chain letter virus, a hoax, a scam spread by the cooperation of its victims.

		If it's chain mail, and it asks you to forward to many other people, and the information in it is unverifiable even if interesting, then it's almost certainly a virus.

		Like old-fashioned chain letters through the snail mail, chain e-mail asks (sometimes demands) that you forward copies to everyone else you know in order to get a reward; sometimes the reward is a "common good" ("let's use our voice to get this done").
		Typical Chain e-mail often has a long "chain" of mail forwards on it, usually because no one even stops to think or remove mail headers before clicking the FORWARD button.
		Mail servers are overloaded with multiple copies of redundant, incorrect information that does not contribute a business value; it's "spam" in the workplace.

	Electronic Chain Mail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The element that differentiates malicious chain letters from other hoaxes is that they target some e-mail address as a central collector of the chain.
		Unlike postal mail, where you usually are requested to pass the message up or down a specified number of levels, e-mail makes it easy to include a carbon copy to additional parties.
		In the case of the chain messages, there usually is a reference to a particular address that should be included in any further transmission.

	Chain Letter Evolution
		Though some e-mail chains begin as digitizations of paper chain letters [e1994] or office humor items [e1995], their subsequent history in the electronic medium, and the chain e-mail genre as a whole, differ significantly from paper chain letters.
		Chain letters as we know them were originally called "Endless chain letters" (NYT, 1906) to distinguish them from the then familiar self-terminating charity chains.
		The Luck by Mail type also introduces "this is not a joke" and the qualification that you will receive your luck "by mail." These are now mainline universals, and we judge the latter to have been the innovation most responsible for the predominance of this type in the 1950's.
