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.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- substituting, at an originating communication device, an address of a copy of an attachment associated with data for transmission, by processing the attachment to extract the address, the address embedded in the attachment, and the copy present on a storage device external to the originating communication device and retrievable via the address;
- and
- transmitting the data including the address from the originating communication device.
A communication device comprising:
- an interface enabled to transmit data;
- a processing unit enabled to:
- substitute an address of a copy of an attachment associated with data for transmission, by processing the attachment to extract the address, the address embedded in the attachment, and the copy present on a storage device external to the communication device and retrievable via the address;
- and
- transmit the data, including the address, via the interface.
