Abstract
In an Internet facsimile apparatus, it is an object of the invention to provide means for notifying the user of details of a message disposition notification situation (MDN) of a transmission image. When E-mail data is sent, an MDN for E-mail to be sent is requested and communication management information of the sent E-mail is updated on the basis of a reception result of reply E-mail responsive to the MDN request.
Claims11
An image communicating apparatus which is connected to a network capable of performing E-mail communication, comprising:
- an E-mail receiving unit, constructed to receive E-mail;
- a detecting unit, constructed to detect control information which requests a message disposition notification (MDN) from the E-mail received by the E-mail receiving unit;
- a transmitting unit, constructed to transmit the MDN for the E-mail which was received by the E-mail receiving unit and of which the control information was detected by the detecting unit, to a sender of the E-mail;
- a registering unit, constructed to register information indicating whether or not the transmitting unit automatically transmits the MDN;
- a display unit, constructed to display a notification that the E-mail having the control information has been received, based on the detection of the control information from the E-mail by the detecting unit, in a case where the information indicating that the transmitting unit automatically transmits the MDN is not registered by the registering unit;
- and
- a printing unit, constructed to print the E-mail received by the E-mail receiving unit.
An image communicating method used in an image communicating apparatus which is connected to a network capable of performing E-mail communication, comprising:
- a receiving step, of receiving E-mail;
- a detecting step, of detecting control information which requests a message disposition notification (MDN) from the E-mail received in the E-mail receiving step;
- a transmitting step of transmitting the MDN for the E-mail which was received and of which the control information was detected, to a sender of the E-mail;
- a registering step, of registering information indicating whether or not to automatically transmit the MDN;
- a displaying step, of displaying a notification that the E-mail having the control information has been received, based on the detection of the control information from the E-mail in the detecting step, in a case where the information indicative of automatically transmitting the MDN is not registered in the registering step;
- and
- a printing step, of printing the E-mail received in the E-mail receiving step.
A non-transitory storage medium which retrievably stores therein a computer program to cause a computer to execute an image communicating method used in an image communicating apparatus which is connected to a network capable of performing E-mail communication, the method comprising:
- a receiving step, of receiving an E-mail;
- a detecting step, of detecting control information which requests a message disposition notification (MDN) from the E-mail received in the E-mail receiving step;
- a transmitting step of transmitting the MDN for the E-mail which was received and of which the control information was detected, to a sender of the E-mail;
- a registering step, of registering information indicating whether or not to automatically transmit the MDN;
- a displaying step, of displaying a notification that the E-mail having the control information has been received, based on the detection of the control information from the E-mail in the detecting step, in a case where the information indicative of automatically transmitting the MDN is not registered in the registering step;
- and
- a printing step, of printing the E-mail received in the E-mail receiving step.
