E-Mail similarities/Differences to real mail Thoughts

I've been using e-mail for as long as I can remember using the internet (9 years ish??) and I never thought that it mimicked the mailing system like it did. I thought it just sent the message to the person, but it goes through various servers before getting to its destination. It makes me wonder what else online mimics real life systems...

I have also been using the internet (email) for a while and never stopped to think about all the similarities to real mail.
