A method and apparatus for selecting attachments. When a sender indicates in an e-mail application or applet that an attachment is to be associated with an e-mail message, an attachment chooser window is presented. The attachment chooser window provides a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) which allows a sender to browse data resources, such as HTML documents and associated links. An attachment mechanism is provided by which a sender can choose a currently displayed data resource for attachment in an e-mail message. In one embodiment, the attachment mechanism allows a user to select whether the attachment is retrieved and attached to an e-mail message as a resource locator (such as a URL) of the chosen data resource, or whether source data of the data resource is retrieved and attached to the e-mail message as one or more source files. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A method and apparatus for selecting attachments is described.
When a sender indicates in an e-mail application or applet that an attachment is to be associated with an e-mail message, an attachment chooser window is presented.
The attachment chooser window provides a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) which allows a sender to browse data resources, such as HTML documents and associated links.
An attachment mechanism is provided by which a sender can choose a currently displayed data resource for attachment in an e-mail message.
In one embodiment, the attachment mechanism allows a user to select whether the attachment is retrieved and attached to an e-mail message as a resource locator (such as a URL) of the chosen data resource, or whether source data of the data resource is retrieved and attached to the e-mail message as one or more source files.
In an embodiment of the invention, an attachment chooser software component is instantiated by an e-mail application.
The attachment chooser software component is configured to provide the graphical user interface for selecting a web-based attachment, and comprises the following components: a menu component configured to control how an attachment is added to an e-mail message, e.
g.
, as a resource locator or as source data; an editable "go-to" text field component configured to identify the resource locator of the currently viewed data resource; a toolbar component providing the basic navigation controls for browsing data resources such as web pages; a browsing component configured to perform parsing and rendering of data resources; and one or more button components configured to receive input to attach a currently viewed data resource to an e-mail message or to cancel an attachment session.
