<p>A radio paging system (14) which includes a number of paging receivers (28), each receiver (28) being associated with a subscriber (30). The subscriber (30) also receives electronic mail (34) from a separate computer network (12). The system provides a device (20) for sending paging messages (26) when an electronic mail message (34) is received from the separate network (12). During a system configuration step, an example electronic mail message is displayed to a subscriber (30). The subscriber (30) identifies information in the example by use of a pointing device to designate selected portions of a message. Rules are thereby established which are applied to subsequent electronic mail messages (34) to extract similar information. Each time an electronic message is received, a paging message (26) is sent to the paging receiver (28) which includes the information obtained by applying the previously established rules to the subsequent message.</p> |
