Claims37
A communication apparatus including a printer and a scanner connected to a terminal apparatus via a network, the communication apparatus comprising:
- a receiver that receives e-mail via the network;
- a memory that stores the e-mail data received by said receiver;
- a generator that generates a HTML file including management data corresponding to the stored e-mail data, the management data including sender data of the e-mail data;
- a communicator that performs a HTTP protocol communication with the terminal apparatus to transmit the HTML file to the terminal apparatus when a request for the management data is received from the terminal apparatus, the management data in the HTML file being displayable at the terminal apparatus;
- and
- a controller that, in response to receipt of a designation of management data by the terminal apparatus, and in response to receipt of a command output by the terminal apparatus, controls a transmission of the stored e-mail data corresponding to the designated management data, to a destination, in accordance with the command, the destination being distinct from the terminal apparatus and from the printer.
