Abstract
A first end user creates an original note and enters any additional attributes to enable an electronic mail system to deliver the note to an intended second end user. The first end user enters data which informs the second end user of the first end user's intent relating whether the original note should be appended to the reply note. Thereafter, the system delivers the note to the intended recipient end user and appends the original to any reply generated by the recipient end user based upon the intent entered into the system.
