A server machine transfers a version of an e-mail item, such as a message, to a client machine, and the version includes an automatically inserted selectable link for an e-mail address in the item. When the server receives a signal from the client indicating user selection of the selectable link, the server transfers an information display to the client machine, providing access to all available address book information in each of a set of address book entries accessible by the server. Each entry in the set is for an entity that is likely to be the entity whose e-mail address has the selectable link. The entries can be obtained by applying a likely match criterion using address information from the signal indicating user selection. The address book information can include, for example, an individual's first name and last name, at least one telephone number, and at least one e-mail address. If the entity has a telephone number, the information display can include a selectable item for requesting a telephone call. If the entitty has an e-mail address, the information display can include a selectable item for requesting to send an e-mail message to the address. If the entity has a calendar, the information display can include a selectable item for requesting scheduling of an appointment. |
