A method of composing an electronic mail so that an expression appropriate for a receiver of the electronic mail can be included in the contents of the outgoing electronic mail. The method includes the steps of setting an electronic mail ID of the of receiver in the outgoing electronic mail and inserting a mail expression corresponding to a category attribute of the electronic mail ID of the receiver into the body of the outgoing electronic mail.

Method of composing electronic mail in which mail expressions corresponding to a category attribute of an electronic mail ID of the destination are inserted into the outgoing electronic mail

The present invention is intended to arrange data, thereby improving usability and operability. When data desired to be stored is designated on an application being processed, a data capture control portion captures the data, and a data type judgment portion judges the type of the captured data. In accordance with the result of the judgment, the data is stored on an image clipboard or a text clipboard depending on the type of the data. Desired data is selected from among the stored data. A data paste control portion pastes the selected data on another activated application desired to be linked.

Apparatus and method for carrying out data linkage among a plurality of applications

A display device is provided having a display section for displaying a window frame of a standard pixel number. A data acquiring section is provided for acquiring image data of a given pixel number from any of various applications. An image data storing section is provided for storing therein the image data. A pixel number determining section is also provided for determining the pixel number based on attribution data that is attached to the image data. A pixel number judgment section is provided for judging whether or not the pixel number is smaller than the standard pixel number preliminarily stored in a standard pixel number storing section. A data expanding section is provided for expanding the image data to increase the pixel number of the image data to the standard pixel number, if the pixel number is smaller than the standard pixel number. A display control section is provided for controlling the display section to display the expanded image data in the window frame of the standard pixel number so that the window frame which contains the expanded image data can coexist with a window frame which contains image data of the standard pixel number on the display section. In addition, a character detecting section is provided for detecting font data and a character code in the image data. A font replacing section retrieves from a font data storing section a font data of a font size that corresponds to a scaling factor and replaces the font data of the image data with the retrieved font data.

Display device, display method, and storage medium containing display control program

An electronic mail system displays a list of received mails in a receiving mode. The list indicates a mark &ldquo;O&rdquo; at the end of the row describing the contents of the mail from a person for whom an already-read mail box has been set. When received mail is mail from a person for whom the already-read mail box has been set, the system displays TO MAIL BOX button further. When the user touches TO MAIL BOX button, the system stores the received mail currently displayed in the already-read mail box which has been set with the keyword of the mailing address.

Electronic mail system for setting additional storage areas for sorting sent or received mail, and medium storing electronic mail control program

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.
