A net database retains a user conversion setting table for designating the
destination of electronic mail for each user. Based on the contents of
the user conversion setting table of the user, a determination module
determines the destination of electronic mail received via a mail server.
The determination module uses an appropriate conversion module to convert
the data of the electronic mail so as to match the output format of the
destination. The determination module provides the converted data to the
designated destination. Since the contents of the transmission
information are converted into a data format corresponding to the
capacity of a receiving-side terminal, appropriate information can be
provided to the receiving-side terminal.
