  • Publication number: 20040192263
    Abstract: The e-mail system includes: a text information notifying unit (21) for notifying a second information terminal (40) of text information of an e-mail message; a sound information storing unit for storing sound information related to the e-mail message; and a managing unit for managing association between the e-mail message and its related sound data. With this feature, it is possible for a user to reply to an original e-mail message by voice, thereby freeing a user from troublesome inputting text reply. Further, upon receipt of such a voice reply, the sender of the original mail can manage the reply in association with the original mail. Furthermore, upon receipt of an e-mail massage having information about sound information added thereto, it is possible to smoothly obtain the sound information.
