An electronic-mail apparatus is provided including an operational panel having a start-key that starts a transmission operation and input key that designates one of an electronic-mail destination address and a facsimile destination address. An acceptor accepts image data. A compressor compresses the accepted image data. A facsimile transmitter transmits the compressed image data to the designated facsimile destination address via a telephone network. A converter converts the compressed image data into an electronic-mail format. An electronic-mail transmitter transmits the electronic-mail formatted image data to the designated electronic-mail destination address. The operational panel, acceptor, compressor, facsimile transmitter, converter, and electronic-mail transmitter are integrated in a body of the apparatus. The acceptor, compressor, converter and electronic-mail transmitter are sequentially operated in order to transmit the electronic-mail formatted image data, when the start-key is actuated, after the electronic-mail destination address has been designated.
