Abstract

See full text

The present invention allows the inclusion of a place mark in an electronic mail item. The place mark serves to identify and link an on-line reference to the mail item. When a user sends the mail item to a recipient, the place mark but not the reference goes with the item. Upon receipt, the recipient may select the place mark during review of the mail item and the on-line reference will be automatically called and displayed. Upon completing review of the reference, the recipient may transfer control from the on-line reference to the mail item without having to back out of the reference and then initiate the electronic mail.
