Information obtained through a network and information distributed from a package medium are mixedly displayed. A package medium 3 has a URL (Universal Resource Locator) and information for converting a directory structure in the package medium. A terminal has information for managing correspondence between data of a received electronic mail 6 and a URL of the data. The URL is used for designating data. When the designated URL exists in the terminal, data is read from the terminal. When the designated URL exists in the package medium, data is read from the package medium.
