Integrated multimedia e-mail handler with authoring tool

Multipurpose Internet mail extensions (MIME) were proposed for the transmission of multimedia messages. Multimedia e-mail information can be transmitted by the proposed MIME format. However, an integrated environment for authoring multimedia e-mail has not been provided, until now. Using both a multimedia e-mail handler and integrated authoring tool, advanced private communication can be accomplished. In this study, the integrated multimedia e-mail handler and authoring tool has been designed and implemented according to the MIME standard in order to solve the bounded e-mail system environment limitations of media messages. The multimedia e-mail authoring tool is designed and applied to the multimedia e-mail handler for the purpose of viewing a message consisting of different media as an integrated form. It provides users with an environment for understanding e-mail messages. The proposed e-mail system also provides convenient functions of message authoring and display for users.
