Abstract
If there is an address input, a setting determining section checks whether or not a Bcc flag is on. Next, the setting determining section determines that a first address is set to a field [To:]. While, the setting determining section determines that addresses including and after a second address are set to a field [Bcc:]. Next, a header generating section describes the first input address in the field [To:] of a mail header. The addresses including and after the second address are described in the field [Bcc:] of the mail header. Next, the mail header generated by the header generating section and a TIFF file text-coded by a text coding section are combined with each other by a combining section, so that an e-mail is generated. As a result, the large number of addresses is automatically allocated to the fields [To:] and [Bcc:].
