You've got mail, ma'am

London -- Queen Elizabeth II, who made news in recent years when she got a cell phone and then an iPod mini, now has an e-mail address, The (London) Telegraph reported.

The newspaper based its report on intelligence from its "Buckingham Palace mole," who said the queen was engaged in conversation Monday at a palace garden party with Vanity Fair editor Elizabeth Saltzman -- and offered to give Saltzman her e-mail address.

"Good lord, you use e-mail?" Saltzman reportedly said.

"Oh yes," said the queen. "But I don't actually write them -- I dictate them all, of course."

Buckingham Palace was unable to confirm whether the queen receives e-mails on Nigerian get-rich-quick schemes or sources of cheap Viagra like everybody else does, the newspaper said.
