Play-by-mail? Does anyone know how it works? Put an end to popups!

Could someone please tell me how it works? I have never tried it before.

Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

It's pretty much like a hotseat game played by mailing the game to each other once you've finished with your turn. Pretty simple really.

Does this mean, you have to (When you have finnished your turn) save the game, start your mail program, send the save game manually to the next player in the game?

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

If it will be like play-by-mail in Call To Power, the game will be saved automatically (to your desktop) when you end the turn.
You still have to send this turn manually to the next player.

Play By Email (PBEM) is usually the best choice for people who don't have unlimited internet time, or who only have email access.

...or would rather spend more time thinking about their moves and aren't in a hurry to finish the game.
