Abstract
The present invention is directed towards a method of processing an e-mail message that includes a representation of an envelope. The electronic envelope includes a time stamp, sender identity identification and/or other objects that are displayed on a computer screen of the user. Upon initiation of a user action when a cursor is positioned at a screen location corresponding to the time stamp or sender identity identification, this action causes the computer to connect to a location associated with the time stamp or the sender identity identification.
