Enables the creation of services directed to the processing of the content of new electronic mail messages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Now, a method and apparatus implementing the method have been invented to reduce the disadvantages presented above.
It is characteristic of the method according to the invention that a second message is formed by a terminal, the message comprising information about at least one processing, directed to the content of the electronic mail message, to be carried out by a server; said second message is transmitted to the server; said processing is carried out by the server in response to said second message; and the processed message or part of it is transmitted from the electronic mail server to the terminal.
An object of the invention is also a terminal according to claim 8 for utilising electronic mail services implemented through a telecommunications network, the terminal comprising means for receiving a first message from a server, the first message comprising information about the structural parts of said electronic mail message and the attributes relating to the content of said structural parts.
It is characteristic of the terminal that the terminal comprises means for forming a second message, the second message comprising information about at least one processing in the server, directed to the content of the electronic mail message, and means for transmitting the second message or its part to the server.
Another object of the present invention is an electronic mail server, according to claim 9, comprising a database for storing electronic mail messages, means for forming a first message comprising information about the structural parts of the electronic mail message that is in the database of the electronic mail server and the attributes relating to the content of said structural parts; and means for transmitting said first message from the electronic mail server to a terminal.
It is characteristic of the electronic mail server that the electronic mail server comprises means for receiving a second message transmitted by the terminal, the second message comprising information about at least one processing in the server, directed to the content of the electronic mail message, means for carrying out said processing in response to the receiving of said second message; and means for transmitting the processed message or its part from the electronic mail server to the terminal
