What is difference between Test procedure and Test suite?

Test procedure is a combination of test cases based on a certain logical reason, like executing an end-to end situation or something to that effect. The order in which the test cases are to be run is fixed.
For example, if I was to test the sending of an email from Gmail.com, the order of test cases that I would combine to form a test procedure would be:
1. The test to check the login
2. The test to compose email
3. The test to attach one/more attachments
4. Formatting the email in the required way by using various options
5. Adding contacts or email addresses to the To, BCC, CC fields
6. Sending email and making sure it is showing in the “Sent Mail” section
All the test cases above are grouped to achieve a certain target at the end of them. Also, test procedures have a few test cases combined at any point of time.
Test suite, on the other hand, is the list of all the test cases that have to be executed as a part of a test cycle or a regression phase etc. There is no logical grouping based on functionality. The order in which the constituent test cases get executed may or may not be important.
Example of test suite: If an application’s current version is 2.0. The previous version 1.0 might have had 1000 test cases to test it entirely. For version 2 there is 500 test cases to just test the new functionality that is added in the new version. So, the current test suite would be 1000+500 test cases that include both regression and the new functionality. The suite is a combination too, but we are not trying to achieve a target function.
Test suites can contain 100s or even 1000s of test cases.
