An e-mail processing application executable on a computer station having a video display unit (VDU) searches 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 in the stored table, inserts 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 to the received e-mail. In a preferred embodiment 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 an alternative embodiment, a "send to" address in a received e-mail, as a result of 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. In alternative embodiments the application simply provides variable fields in a reply window for a user to enter variable "from" and "reply to" addresses. |
