Er, how? 

I'm serious here.  Who in the Ranma cast would use e-mail?  
Certainly not
most of them, even if you decided to advance the timeframe of the 
story to
the present day, for what could e-mail offer them to further their
interests?  There is neither a Jusenko ML nor an alt.rec.chi-blasts, 
no
one is looking for a new relationship ('cept maybe the extras) And 
even if
they *did* have the inclination, who would have a computer?

Perhaps the story could be changed to one using traditional mail, 
but then
how does one get around the fact that the return addresses are 
printed on
the envelopes?  I might see Shampoo/Cologne/Mousse-Someone Else, 
since
it's less likely that someone would recognize a Chinese address, and 
the
return address might not even be an issue if relativers at the 
village are
forwarding Shampoo's mail to and from her pen-pal. It's still kind 
of
farfetched, though.

Ryouga recieving mail in any form has it's own obvious problem.

I agree with most of the above, but don't you think Nabiki and Kuno might
actually use the Web now and again? I mean, in a few fan-fic I've read,
Nabiki HAS had a computer. Just a thought, but I think it could work if
Nabiki and Kuno were used.
