I think this complex issue can be better understood by disecting a few technical terms. "e"-mail means "electronic" mail. As we all know, electricity and electronics are dependent on one major fundamental, "polarity". (You know, +, -, negative, positive, anode, cathode, base, emitter, collector, plate, grid, etc., ad infinitum.) If we then remember that in transmitting a message from one part of the earth to another, often the shortest route is over, rather than around, we can then conclude that, within the same hemisphere, a message would travel the "Polar" route. Relying on the reflective an refractive properties of the ice crystals in the "Polar" region, we can then see how information can easily move from point A to point B. Messages can sometimes be lost when they rise or fall out through the hole in the Ozone layer that hangs over and under each "Pole". By and large though, the system is reliable and allows all of us to exchange educational information such as the message you are now reading. Hope this helps to simplify a rather complex question.
