Inspired by the 1937 Hungarian play ''[[Parfumerie]]'' by [[Mikl贸s L谩szl贸]] (which had earlier been adapted in 1940 as ''[[The Shop Around the Corner]]'' and in 1949 as ''[[In the Good Old Summertime]]''),<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rossen |first=Jake |url=https://mentalfloss.com/article/84669/9-movies-are-remakes-remakes |title=9 Movies That Are Remakes of Remakes |website=[[Mental Floss]] |date=August 17, 2016 |access-date=September 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190818132205/https://mentalfloss.com/article/84669/9-movies-are-remakes-remakes |archive-date=August 18, 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref> the screenplay was co-written by Nora and [[Delia Ephron]]. It tells the story of two people in an [[Love letter|online romance]] who are unaware they are also business rivals. It marked the third pairing of Hanks and Ryan, who previously appeared together in ''[[Joe Versus the Volcano]]'' (1990) and ''[[Sleepless in Seattle]]'' (1993), the latter directed by Ephron. The film takes its name from the greeting [[AOL]] users receive when they get a new email.
