Abstract: An amount of character setting information inserted in a mail text is minimized. A character is selected from a list and a given text letter string of the inputted information is inserted in the mail text. Simultaneously, detailed character setting information is read from a character setting information portion and each setting element of the specified character is stored in a detailed character setting information storing work portion. The detailed data is automatically read from the work portion and attached as a formatted text letter string to the end of the mail text to be transmitted. When the mail arrives, the detailed data is separated from the mail text and stored in the work portion. In reproduction of the mail text, the device recognizes character setting information in the text, reads the detailed character setting information from the work portion and vocally reproduces the text based on the detailed data.

Abstract: Insertion of an attachment file identifying character code in a text of an electronic mail enables an electronic mail device to automatically reproduce (display) data from the attachment file during vocal reproduction of the text. When a text of a received electronic mail was selected and a vocal reproduction start key of the device was pressed, the device stores vocally readable text data to be sent to a voice synthesis control portion and attached reproducible music data in a buffer portion of a random access memory. The device then transmits a voice synthesis and reproduction command to a voice synthesis control portion to vocally reproduce the text. When the device detected an attachment file identifying character code in the text being displayed and vocally reproduced, it converts the text sentence into voice synthesis/reproduction command data and sends the command data to the control portion to vocally reproduce the text.
