The mail hub device transmits, to the MTB server, a request to generate an update of the additional data based on the selection of the message. The mail hub device receives, from the MTB server, the updated additional data based on the selection of the message. The mail hub device transmits, to the first mail server, the updated additional data based on the selection of the message.
