Abstract
Electronic messages with electronic attachments sent by a device over a communication network, such as the Internet or the World Wide Web, to a receiver is first stored on a server computer. The electronic attachment is opened by a computer having a program that is capable of reading the attachment. The contents of the electronic attachment are then reformatted into a second electronic message using standard protocol, such as HTML and is sent back to the receiver. Thus, the receiver will receive two electronic messages: first, the original electronic mail with the electronic attachment and a second message in which the electronic message is embedded in the message. The advantage is that a user can operate Internet appliances and/or wireless devices without the versatility of a PC and still 'read' the electronic attachments to the email as well as retaining the original email with the original attachment for processing by a PC.
