  • Patent number: 6334142

The data part includes at least one identifier specifying the intended audience of the message. In the server, the information part of the message is stored as an HTML file in a first store and the URL of the file containing the information part of the message together with the identifier or identifiers of the intended audience are stored in a second store.
