The system includes an interested party database including a field of information containing a first electronic-mail address, which is used to address an electronic-mail message to a first interested party. Also included is an electronic-mail generator, which is responsive to the first electronic-mail address. The electronic mail generator generates the first electronic-mail message addressed to the first electronic-mail address of the first interested party. The generator also sends the first electronic-mail message to the first electronic-mail address of the interested party. The first electronic-mail message itself includes a response message portion, which includes a second electronic-mail message. The second electronic-mail message is addressed to a second electronic-mail address, which is an electronic-mail address of a sending party.
