Rediff launches 'Web-in-mail' for people with restricted net access
MUMBAI: Online portal Rediff.com has launched the ?Web-in-mail? service, wherein users can access the internet
using email clients like MS Outlook, Outlook Express and Thunderbird.
According to Rediff, the ?web-in-mail? service can be achieved in two steps:
