Abstract
Transmitting e-mail attachments from a sender of a network to a recipient of the network. According to an embodiment, an attachment is stored in a storage means visible to the network and relatively local to the sender, the attachment having a unique network address. The sender requests an e-mail option from the recipient, which provides a configurable e-mail page to the sender in response to the request. An attachment reference comprising the network address of the attachment is supplied to the configurable e-mail page.
