Hremails (a contraction of "Homestar Runner Emails") are installments of an email show by Homestar Runner, similar in nature to Strong Bad Email (with which it frequently overlaps). Homestar was first seen checking emails on the Happy 8600, a laptop modeled after the XO-1 computer for the One Laptop Per Child Program. The first time a hremail was officially seen was in the 200th Strong Bad Email, email thunder, in which Strong Bad vowed to ruin the program after learning of its existence. Hremail 49 (which receives a passing mention by Homestar in the Sbemail) and Hremail 24 were also released as secret pages.
Hremails 49 and 24 were included in strongbad_email.exe Disc Six as Easter Eggs in the DVD version of email thunder.
On January 26, 2009, Hremail 62 was made in full and was followed by Hremail 2000 the following week. The present hremail format is similar to a television program and takes place in The Hremail Room. Homestar Runner now reads out the email from a sheet of paper and the Happy 8600 has been replaced with a talking microfiche reader called the Arturo 9000. Hremails, strangely, are only listed in the New Stuff menu.
In email thunder, Homestar stated that Hremails had existed "since forever," to Strong Bad's surprise. In Hremail 7, it was revealed that they began during or before 2001, actually predating Strong Bad Emails. Homestar may have used a computer called the "Randy 400" in 2001, but it has not been shown. He also may have checked emails on the Tandy 400 before he threw it away.

Other Hremails
In email thunder, Homestar tells Strong Bad about many previous Hremails that took place during Sbemails. Their numbers are unknown. These include:
Also, email thunder shows Homestar checking an email before Strong Bad interrupts. 8-Bit Is Enough mentions a japanese cartoon-like hremail.
Replies
Before December 2008, sending an email to Homestar's address - DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com - prompted the following auto-reply:
From: DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com
Subject: My Inbox Runneth Ova!
Oh, hello everyone! For some unknown reason I'm getting this big cavalcanche of emails all of the sudden. They're filling up the basement and I'm running out of paper towels!
Just sit tight and hremails will be back to normal before you know it.
And thanks again to everyone who participated in Bacon Pretend Week! Ron Staple you are a GENIUS!
Okay bye,
Homestar Runner
When an email is answered by Homestar Runner, the person who wrote it may receive the following message:

Intros
Beginning with Hremail 62, Homestar has made some kind introduction for himself from the shadows before he reads an email, much like Strong Bad's.

| 62 | Hremail 62 | Don't look now kids, it's everyone's favorite knock-kneed weightlifter, Homestar Runner! |
| 2000 | Hremail 2000 | Give it the gas, people! It's the breakout album of the year, Homestar Runner! |
Homestar's Mug
Beginning with Hremail 62, there have been mugs sitting on Homestar Runner's desk, similar to the Floppy Disk running gag.
