Abstract
A method, apparatus and system for reducing download of redundant attachments to a communication device from a server is provided. An identifier of attachment to a message, for transmission from the server to the communication device, is compared with identifiers of attachments already stored in a memory at the communication device. The communication device is caused to retrieve a copy of the attachment from the memory if a match is found between the identifier and the identifiers of attachments already stored in the memory.
