Communication apparatus and method

A communication method for transmitting an e-mail message to which an image data is attached via a computer network, comprising:

• acquiring image data having a predetermined resolution;
• acquiring sending information of the image data including destination information of the image data;
• pasting the sending information to the image data thereby generating composite image data;
• generating an e-mail message by attaching the composite image data;
• sending the e-mail message attached with the composite image data;
• and
• repeating said acquiring sending information, said pasting, said generating and said sending steps for at least two different destinations separately so that each of the composite image data received at each of the at least two different destinations is pasted with each respective destination information.

A computer-readable storage medium that stores a control program communication apparatus for transmitting an e-mail message to which an image data is attached via a computer network, said control program comprising:

• code of acquiring image data having a predetermined resolution;
• code of acquiring sending information of the image data including destination information of the image data;
• code of pasting the sending information to the image data thereby generating composite image data;
• code of generating an e-mail message by attaching the composite image data;
• code of sending the e-mail message attached with the composite image data;
• and
• code of repeating said acquiring sending information, said pasting, said generating and said sending steps for at least two different destinations separately so that each of the composite image data received at each of the at least two different destinations is pasted with each respective destination information.

A communication apparatus for transmitting an e-mail message to which an image data is attached via a computer network, comprising:

• mode detection means for detecting whether a first or second operation mode is designated;
• image data acquisition means for acquiring image data having a predetermined resolution;
• sending information acquisition means for acquiring sending information of the image data including destination information of the image data;
• pasting means for pasting the sending information to the image data thereby generating composite image data;
• generation means for, when the first operation mode is detected, generating a first e-mail message by attaching the composite image data;
• sending means for, when the first operation mode is detected, sending the first e-mail message attached with the composite image data, and for, when the second operation mode is detected, generating a second e-mail message on the basis of the sending information, and sending the second e-mail message attached with the image data without pasting the sending information to the image data;
• and
• repeating means for repeating the acquiring sending information, the pasting, the generating a first e-mail message, the sending the first e-mail message, the generating a second e-mail message, and the sending the second e-mail message procedures for at least two different destinations separately so that each of the composite image data received at each of the at least two different destinations is pasted with each respective destination information.
