 <h2>Fetching Tor via email: gettor</h2>

 <hr />

 <p>

-In the near future, we will provide an email gateway that will allow users on

-specific mail systems to fetch a copy of Tor. This means that users will have

-no obvious connection to the Tor Project when used in conjunction with our new

-briding feature. This service is not yet finished, please watch this space for

-updates.

+It is possible to get a copy of Tor by sending an email to a special email

+address: '<tt>gettor AT torproject.org</tt>'. This email system is a gateway

+that allows anyone who can send email to get a copy of Tor. Currently, we only

+support mail systems that we know

+don't mind large email attachments. Gmail and Yahoo! mail are two such mail

+services that are known to work. This is useful for users who can send email

+but have no other direct method of downloading Tor. A user only needs to tell

+us their Operating System (Windows XP? Mac OS X? Linux?). An email with the

+requested package will be sent shortly.
