Abstract
An electronic mail processing method for transmitting/receiving an electronic mail by a mail server between a sender terminal and a receiver terminal via a communication line. Text data as a main text, image data as an attached file, and scenario data having data on a display order and time of the text data and the image data are received. The received data are edited into an edited mail to be automatically displayed in accordance with the display order and the time, and transmitted to the receiver terminal. Thus the receiver can easily inspect the content of electronic mail.
Claims12
An electronic mail processing method for a mail server which transmits/receives an electronic mail between a sender terminal and a receiver terminal via a communication line, comprising the steps of:
- receiving scenario data where a display order and display time of text data and an attached file including image data can be set, from said sender terminal;
- and
- transmitting an edited mail to automatically display said text data and said attached file in accordance with the display order and the display time set in said scenario data, to said receiver terminal.
An electronic mail processing method for transmitting/receiving an electronic mail by a mail server between a sender terminal and a receiver terminal via a communication line, said method comprising the steps of:
- receiving text data as a main text, image data as an attached file, and scenario data having data on a display order and time of the text data and the image data, from said sender terminal, into said mail server;
- editing the data received at said reception step into an edited mail to be automatically displayed in accordance with the display order and the time set in said scenario data;
- and
- transmitting said edited mail from said mail server to said receiver terminal.
