Remarks
An email account is required on a server for the email application to function correctly. The file /apps/email.ini contains the email account settings to connect to the server. This file should be edited through the Account option on the email client's menu. If no password is specified in the Account settings the password is prompted for at each action.

The email messages are stored at /apps/data/emails/inbox and /apps/data/emails/sent. These folders are created by the email client if they don't exist.

The emread application can optionally be given a file path as an argument on the command line of the email file to open.

The emwrite application can optionally be given an email address as an argument on the command line to fill in the Recipient field.

The controls in the emwrite application also respond to the following short cut keys:
Ctrl+X Clipboard cut.
Ctrl+C Clipboard copy.
Ctrl+V Clipboard paste.
Ctrl+Alt+V System's paste.
Ctrl+Z Undo (message control only).
