We allow the public use their own e-mail (telnet, pop, imap) from our
terminals freely.  Sending mail is also possible even without own address,
simply using browser's capabilities or preferrably the special WWW-form 
<URL:http://kirjakaapeli.lib.hel.fi/cgi-bin/wwwmail>.  Other info about
things to know when sending or receiving internet mail is available in
<URL:http://kirjakaapeli.lib.hel.fi/ohje/sahkoposti.html>, too bad in
Finnish only.

Usenet news-services are also available.
