Abstract
An Internet facsimile apparatus is configured to receive e-mail and to print the e-mail. The Internet facsimile apparatus includes a controller that determines whether the received e-mail includes a text part when it is determined that the received e-mail comprises a multipart structure, and determines whether the text part includes a predetermined pair of codes. The controller replaces a character string between the predetermined pair of codes with another predetermined code when it is determined that the text part includes the predetermined pair of codes, so that the character string replaced by the another predetermined code is not printed.
Claims16
