An electronic mail processing apparatus includes: a transmitting device for transmitting electronic mails; a receiving device for receiving electronic mails; a selecting device for selecting whether a request for reply to an electronic mail to be transmitted is to be made or not; a reply due date inputting device for inputting a due date of reply when a selection has been made by the selecting device to make the request for reply; a registering device for automatically registering in a memory a predetermined information including an information on presence/absence of the reply to the transmitted mail and the due date of reply; and a displaying device for displaying at least the information on presence/absence of the reply and the due date of reply for each transmitted mail.

Electronic mail processing apparatus and method therefor

An input/display apparatus for handwritten characters is capable of quickly inputting handwritten characters, freely editing characters inputted, and storing a lot of handwritten characters with a limited storing capacity. On a display panel provided with a display surface, the orthogonal coordinates of which are preset, a touch panel provided. An input surface of the touch panel, the orthogonal coordinates of which are preset, is disposed in such a way that the display surface and the input surface overlap each other. When the input surface is indicated with an input pen, the indicated coordinate point is outputted. At the time of handwriting input, when the input surface in the input/display area for characters is continuously indicated, coordinate points on the display surface corresponding to the plurality of indicated coordinate points are displayed. After the handwriting input is over, stroke data consisting of coordinate points extracted on the basis of predetermined references from among a plurality of coordinate points outputted from the touch panel at the time of handwriting input are prepared. The stroke data are displayed by being converted to a size corresponding to the width of the line set in the area after the display position of the cursor.

Input and display apparatus for handwritten characters

A schedule-managing apparatus is capable of moving or copying a schedule to another date, for example, to another month than that displayed on a display section, at the time when a starting date is stored in a storing portion. A schedule-managing apparatus includes a control device for holding schedule information, stored in a storing portion as it is, while renewing stored data information according to inputted coordinates, when a user is inputting coordinates in a calendar display region by altering the coordinates successively. It further includes a scroll indication window provided adjacent to a display screen of a display portion. Finally, another control device is included for scrolling a displayed content of the display portion when the coordinate of the scroll indication window is inputted via a coordinate input device.
