Abstract
A method and communication device for processing data for transmission from the communication device to a second communication device is provided. It is detected that the data comprises an attachment. An address of a copy of the attachment is determined, the attachment present on a storage device external to the communication devices. An address of the copy of the attachment is substituted in the data such that the copy is retrievable at the second communication device via the address. The data is then transmitted to the second communication device.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- automatically substituting, at an originating communication device, in a message, a file to be attached to the message with an address of a copy of the file on an external storage device such that the copy of the file is retrievable at a receiving communication device using the address;
- and
- transmitting, from the originating communication device to the receiving communication device, the message including the address, but not the file.
An originating communication device comprising:
- a communication interface;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- automatically substitute, in a message, a file to be attached to the message with an address of a copy of the file on an external storage device such that the copy of the file is retrievable at a receiving communication device using the address;
- and
- transmit, using the communication interface, to the receiving communication device, the message including the address, but not the file.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- automatically substitute, at an originating communication device, in a message, a file to be attached to the message with an address of a copy of the file on an external storage device such that the copy of the file is retrievable at a receiving communication device using the address;
- and
- transmit, from the originating communication device to the receiving communication device, the message including the address, but not the file.
