Improved e-mail functionality. In a first general respect, the invention relates to the ability to co-author an e-mail. For example, an e-mail can be attributed to several senders in the same or similar way that conventional technology attributes e-mails to be from a single user. In a second general respect, the invention relates to the ability to customize the distribution of attachments between recipients of a single e-mail message. For example, one can send an e-mail to several recipients and choose which of those recipients should receive which of the attachments. In this way, e-mail can mimic the practice of letters-copying someone "without enclosures." Moreover, certain attachments can be included for certain recipients while excluding others.
