Abstract

PURPOSE:To reproduce no unnecessary message in a composite mail by providing a skip function which does not reproduce an unreproduced part of a message part which is being reproduced at present, but reproduces the next message part, on a composite mail system. CONSTITUTION:A composite message by which a voice message VM and a data message DM are repeated alternately is registered in a mail box 6 provided on a switching system, as one composite mail. The composite mail has in the head a message managing part MC consisting of managing information VMC1-VMCn, DMC1-DMCn such as a classification of each message part VM1-VMn, DM1- DMn, a message length, a message head position, etc. When a composite mail request signal (a) is inputted to a composite mail system CMS through a composite switchboard 2 from a composite terminal CPT1, a mail box managing part 7 starts a reproduction of the composite mail in accordance with the information of the managing part MC. When a skip request signal C is inputted in the course of said reproduction, a message part being in the source of the reproduction is skipped, and the reproduction is executed from the head position of the next message part.
