How can electronic mail improve access to, and the exchange of, scientific information? This is the question addressed. The structure of the various systems, their current status and development, and their importance with respect to participation in, for example, the BRITE‐EURAM projects, are discussed. A new European network, Y‐NET, which uses the X.400 system, is described and the Network's activities aimed at promoting the use of e‐mail services reviewed.
