>1. An e-mail program is software in the user's computer that can access the mail servers in a local or remote network. Also known as an "e-mail client," "mail client," "mail program," and "mail reader," it provides the ability to send and receive e-mail messages and file attachments. E-mail capability is built into popular Web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. Stand-alone programs such as Outlook and Eudora are also popular. See POP3, IMAP and universal client.

>Conclusion: IE and Netscape are MAPI compliant mail clients.

Daniel,

IE doesn't have built-in e-mail capability.
Take a look in IE help under topic "Send a Web page in e-mail". It says "Click the File menu, point to Send, and then click Page by E-mail or Link by E-mail. Complete the mail message window, and then send the message. Note that you must have an e-mail account and an e-mail program set up on your computer."
