<p>An e-mail processing application (43, 45) executable on a computer station having a video display unit searches (47) a received e-mail for one or more words, phrases, and addresses for comparison with stored words, phrases and addresses in a stored table, and upon finding a match (49) in the stored table, inserts (51) one or more of words, phrases, or addresses associated in the stored table with the words, phrases or addresses from the received e-mail in any reply (53) to the received e-mail. A "send to" address in a received e-mail triggers automatically one or both of a particular "from" and "reply to" address in any response to the received e-mail. In another embodiment, a "send to" address in a received e-mail, resulting from a table look-up, automatically prepares and sends a new e-mail identical to the received e-mail except for a new "send to" address retrieved from the stored table.</p> |
