Information common to multiple e-mail messages (called common content "chunks") is separated from the individual e-mail messages before transmission. The chunks are then transmitted separately from the individual e-mail message information, and reassembled into a complete e-mail message at the receiving site. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Information common to multiple e-mail messages is sent as common content chunks, which may be transmitted only once each, but merged into many different e-mail messages at the final destination.
The advantages and purposes in accordance with the invention will be set forth in the following description and will also be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention.
The advantages and purposes of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
To obtain the advantages, and in accordance with the purposes of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, one aspect of the present invention includes a method of sending an e-mail message from a first computer to a second computer via a network, comprising the steps of (1) transmitting a first portion of the e-mail message to the second computer over the network, the first portion containing at least one block of text, each of the blocks of text being assigned a different index value; and (2) transmitting a second portion of the e-mail message to the second computer over the network, the second portion containing information specific to a particular recipient and containing pointers to the index values.
The first and second portions together include information sufficient to form the complete e-mail message for the particular recipient.
Alternate aspects of the present invention include a method of receiving e-mail messages, a computer readable medium including instructions for implementing the present invention, and a computer system for implementing the present invention.
Both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and do not restrict the invention as claimed.
