A system and method for receiving and storing information transmission units such as electronic mails, where newly received transmission units are automatically allocated to groups in a storing means, employing a weighted sum with respect to the determination of allocation decision parameters from the comparison between the structure of previously stored transmission units and the newly to be stored transmission units. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS] In the following, the present invention shall be described by way of preferred embodiments.
FIG.
1 shows a schematic outline of a general embodiment of the present invention.
The receiving and storing means 1 consists of a storing means 2, in which transmission units TRU are stored into predetermined groups G.

Furthermore, a data determination means 3 is provided, which determines the data relating to specific properties of a received transmission unit, and the corresponding data associated with the same specific properties in transmission units already stored in the storage means 2.
FIG.
2 shows an example of a transmission unit.
The format of the shown transmission unit TRU is such that a header and a body are provided.
The header consists of several sections or fields 10-14, each containing data related to a specific property of said unit TRU (e.
g.
author, receiver, date, etc.
), i.
e.
field values.
It should be noted that FIG.
2 only shows an example.
The specific format of the transmission units is of little importance to the present invention, as long as they contain data associated with defined properties, and the association between given data and a specific property can be discerned.
In the format shown in FIG.
2, this is assured by having specific sections in a determined order, where each section contains the data relating to a specific property.
For example, section 10 can always contain the name of the author, section 11 the name of the receiver, etc.
It is however equally well possible that the data relating to a specific property, i.
e.
the field value is identifiable by begin and end markers, so that this data can be located anywhere in the transmission unit.
The system shown in FIG.
1 furthermore comprises a comparison means 4, which compares the data from the incoming transmission unit with the data from the transmission units that are already stored.
A comparison evaluation means 5 counts the number of times that a given information (e
