Mumbai, Nov 26 (ANI/Business Wire India): Rediff.com India Limited (NASDAQ: REDF), India's leading online portal, today launched its new 'Web-in-mail' service, a way to read the web in the mail.

Now, users can access internet content using email clients like MS Outlook, Outlook Express and Thunderbird. This is achieved in two simple steps:

-- Sending an email to browse@webinmail.com with the URL (internet address) of the webpage which the user wants to access in the subject line

-- A prompt reply is received with the webpage in the user's inbox

Clicking a hyperlink within the webpage received automatically composes another mail. On sending this mail another reply mail is received with a new webpage.

This service, in its beta version, also allows users to search the internet. Users simply need to send their search query in the subject line and result mail is received via email.

"Web-in-mail will let people with restricted internet access to now access internet content," said Venki Nishtala, CTO, Rediff.com. (ANI)
