Abstract: A facsimile apparatus and electronic mail (e-mail) server capable of transmitting e-mails containing therein facsimile image data while reducing complexities. In the facsimile apparatus, when a user manually operates an “E-mail” button while letting more than one paper document for transmission be inserted into a document tray, the apparatus visually displays a destination address along with a prompt message requesting the user to input mail text data to be delivered. After the user enters such mail text together with the address and then presses a “Send” button, the apparatus operates to optically read for recognition the document as presently set in the document tray to produce corresponding graphic image information of such document (fax data), which will then be sent forth toward the e-mail server along with the destination address and text data. It becomes possible to readily perform e-mail transmission of both the text data and fax data at a time.
