The method of communications via e-mail with media file attachment incorporates advanced communications methods into an e-mail system while enhancing the delayed conversation effect inherent in communications via e-mail reply. User messages are recorded in media files and attached to e-mail letters. The media files include identification information associating the user message with an e-mail conversation, and are stored according to a predetermined scheme. Incoming file attachments are examined to determine first whether they are designated for use in this invention, and if so, second whether they are media files that are part of an existing conversation. If an incoming media file is designated as part of an existing conversation, links corresponding to past media files associated with the conversation are displayed. Designated media files that are not associated with an existing conversation are stored for reference in future conversations.
