I guess it's sorta like making toast.  You have to find the bread loaf
(find the mail app), open the bag (click on the app), pull out a piece of
bread (look for the mail), stick it into the toaster (click on the mail),
and wait for it to pop up (read the mail).  Oh, I guess you could put
something on it (click on the reply button) and eat it (compose the
response), too.
