PoEmail
PoEmail was a newsletter periodically sent out for Three Rings by SubscriberMail. When signing up with an account to play Puzzle Pirates, players were automatically subscribed to PoEmail. As of June 2008, it has been "renamed" to The Spyglass,[1] which takes on a new format. Existing PoEmail subscribers were automatically added to the main Spyglass mailing list.
