Abstract
An image file is created, such as by scanning a document in a digital sending device. A corresponding text file is created, such as by optical character recognition. Both are stored where they are retrievable through use of URLs. Miniaturized versions of both files are created. A message is created including miniaturized versions of the files and URLs addressing the originals. The message is sent to a wireless web-enabled device user. The message recipient can display the miniaturized versions of files and thus determine whether to view the corresponding full versions using the also enclosed URLs.
