Cover letters in the digital age?

What is the current standard for cover letters these days?  I have a solid lead and they are expecting my resume now, but I don't know how to deal with the cover letter when emailing my resume.  Do I just type it all in the email itself?  Or is it better form to send along a cover letter attached to the email?  Thank you!

  • Most people have the CL as the body of the e-mail and attach the resume.

    When I got my current job, that is what I did.  They even complimented me on the fact that I did that when I had my interview.  My interviewer said she hates when people just send her and e-mail saying something like, "Here's my resume" (not that I think you would do that.  She just used that as an example) or just put "resume" in the subject and don't write anything in the body but attach a cover letter with their resume.

    This is what I do. And I use the standard business letter format:

    My name and address

    The date

    Receiver's name and address

    Dear Mr. So and So:

    The letter

    Sincerely,
