Listing of all June 1996 new product categories
Sometimes it's faster and simpler to express your ideas aloud rather than in writing. The Pronto96 3.0 32-bit e-mail package lets you do it either way, relaying both spoken and written messages over the Internet.
With Pronto96's sound recorder icon, you can record your speech as a Windows voice file, then send it as an e-mail attachment using MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) format.
A TCP/IP mail client, Pronto96 recognizes URLs and ftp paths, and it automatically launches your Web browser or ftp utility when you click on it. Pronto96 runs on Windows 95 or NT, and offers a Win95-style interface. It supports long filenames and universal naming convention (UNC). The program also includes a multilingual spell checker.

You take your chances when you send e-mail on the Internet, since it can be intercepted at any point. OpenSoft ExpressMail secures your Internet e-mail, runs right from the Windows 95/NT Inbox and is easy to set up.
ExpressMail uses RSA Data Security's S/MIME (Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) encryption standard and takes advantage of VeriSign Digital IDs, which verify the sender and receiver's identities and authority. When e-mail is sent, the program pulls the receiver's security information from a DCS (Distributed Certificate Server) and does the encryption and decryption. ExpressMail works with all e-mail packages-even if the recipient does not use ExpressMail. The client and server software are available separately.
