All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.

Embodiments of the present application relate to email. By email is meant an information exchange means by which an sender user sends the content of a mail to one or more recipient users; the sender user and the receiver user can send and receive e-mails through the internet or other networks (such as local area networks); generally, emails may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: sender address (i.e. sender user's mailbox address), recipient address (i.e. recipient user's mailbox address), mail content, mail sending time; the mail content may include a mail subject, a mail body, a mail attachment, etc., which is an attached file that is sent along with the electronic mail, and the mail attachment may be, for example, audio, image, video, document, form, etc. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an email provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, where the email shown in FIG. 1 includes: sender address 101 (e.g., "XXX-1@XXX.com" shown in FIG. 1), recipient address 102 (e.g., "XXX-2@XXX.com" shown in FIG. 1), mail sending time 103 (e.g., "XXXX year XX month XX day 20:00:00" shown in FIG. 1), mail content 104.

Based on the above description of the email, the embodiment of the application provides a email sending scheme, which can automatically generate multiple emails according to the email content and object information of multiple objects associated with the email content, where one object corresponds to one email, and the email mentioned in the embodiment of the application may be an email. Wherein the object may include a user, an enterprise, an organization, etc., and the object information may include an object identification (e.g., a user name, an enterprise name, an organization name, etc.) and a mailbox address; the mail content may include a title replacement placeholder, which is a symbol that occupies a position in the mail content and may be replaced by title information (e.g., an object identifier) that is indicated by the title replacement placeholder, and the title information is displayed at the position occupied by the title replacement placeholder in the mail content during the replacing process. The mail corresponding to any one object can be generated by adopting the object identification of the object to automatically replace the name replacement placeholder in the mail content and automatically adding the mailbox address of the object, so that the time cost brought by repeatedly executing the operation of copying and pasting the mailbox address by a sender user can be reduced, and the mail use experience of the sender user can be improved while the mail sending efficiency is improved. And for a plurality of receiving users (namely a plurality of objects), the mail content received by each receiving user is different and personalized, so that the mail use experience of the receiving user can be improved. In addition, the mail content and the object information can also support sharing and collaborative editing, wherein the collaborative editing of the mail content refers to the process that a plurality of users edit the mail content at the same time or in the same time period, and the mail content can be refreshed in real time according to the collaborative editing result; similarly, collaborative editing of object information refers to a process in which multiple users edit object information at the same time or in the same time period, and the object information can be refreshed in real time according to the collaborative editing result; by performing collaborative editing on the mail content and the object information, the time cost for a plurality of users to edit the mail content and the object information respectively can be reduced, and the sharing property and timeliness of the mail content and the object information can be increased.

It should be noted that, the mail sending scheme provided in the embodiment of the present application may be executed by a terminal, where the terminal may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a smart television, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

It should be further noted that, the mail sending scheme provided in the embodiment of the present application may also relate to technologies such as cloud computing and cloud storage; among them, cloud Computing (Cloud Computing) is a Computing mode that distributes Computing tasks over a resource pool of a large number of computers, enabling various application systems to acquire Computing power, storage space, and information services as needed. The network that provides the resources is referred to as the "cloud". The resources in the "cloud" appear to the user to be infinitely expandable and available at any time, on demand, expandable at any time, pay-per-use. Cloud computing may refer to the delivery and usage model of IT (Internet Technology ) infrastructure, meaning that required resources are obtained in an on-demand, easily scalable manner over a network; generalized cloud computing refers to the delivery and usage patterns of services, meaning that the required services are obtained in an on-demand, easily scalable manner over a network. Such services may be IT, software, internet related, or other services. Cloud Computing is a product of fusion of traditional computer and network technology developments such as Grid Computing (Grid Computing), distributed Computing (Distributed Computing), parallel Computing (Parallel Computing), utility Computing (Utility Computing), network storage (Network Storage Technologies), virtualization (Virtualization), load balancing (Load balancing), and the like. With the development of the internet, real-time data flow and diversification of connected devices, and the promotion of demands of search services, social networks, mobile commerce, open collaboration and the like, cloud computing is rapidly developed. Unlike the previous parallel distributed computing, the generation of cloud computing will promote the revolutionary transformation of the whole internet mode and enterprise management mode in concept. Cloud Storage (Cloud Storage) is a new concept that extends and develops in the concept of Cloud computing, and a distributed Cloud Storage system (hereinafter referred to as a Storage system for short) refers to a Storage system that integrates a large number of Storage devices (Storage devices are also referred to as Storage nodes) of various types in a network to work cooperatively through application software or application interfaces through functions such as cluster application, grid technology, and a distributed Storage file system, so as to provide data Storage and service access functions for the outside. At present, the storage method of the storage system is as follows: when creating logical volumes, each logical volume is allocated a physical storage space, which may be a disk composition of a certain storage device or of several storage devices. The client stores data on a certain logical volume, that is, the data is stored on a file system, the file system divides the data into a plurality of parts, each part is an object, the object not only contains the data but also contains additional information such as data identification (Identity, ID) and the like, the file system writes each object into a physical storage space of the logical volume respectively, and the file system records storage position information of each object, so that when the client requests to access the data, the file system can enable the client to access the data according to the storage position information of each object. The process of allocating physical storage space for the logical volume by the storage system specifically includes: physical storage space is divided into stripes in advance according to the group of capacity measures for objects stored on a logical volume (which measures tend to have a large margin with respect to the capacity of the object actually to be stored) and redundant array of independent disks (Redundant Array of Independent Disk, RAID), and a logical volume can be understood as a stripe, whereby physical storage space is allocated to a logical volume.

According to the mail sending scheme, the calculation power provided by the cloud computing technology can be adopted in the process of generating M mails according to the mail content and the object information of M objects, so that the mail generation speed can be greatly increased, and the mail sending efficiency is further improved. In addition, mail content and object information of M objects can be stored by adopting a cloud storage technology, so that storage space can be saved.

Based on the above description, the mail transmission scheme will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in fig. 2, 4 and 6. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a mail sending method provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, where the mail sending method may be performed by a terminal, and the mail sending method may include the following steps S201 to S204:

s201, displaying a content editing interface.

The terminal can run a plurality of clients, and the clients can be any one of the following: a stand-alone application, API (Application Programming Interface ), or SDK (Software Development Kit, software development kit). In one implementation, the content editing interface may be a document content editing interface in the document content editing client, and the display content editing interface is a document content editing interface that displays the document content editing client; fig. 3a shows an interface schematic diagram of a mail sending method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3a, the content editing interface 30 is a document content editing interface. In another implementation, the content editing interface may be a mail content editing interface in the mail client, and the display content editing interface is a mail content editing interface for displaying the mail client; fig. 3b is an interface schematic diagram of a mail sending method according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3b, the content editing interface 30 is a mail content editing interface.

S202, editing mail content in a content editing interface.

After the content editing interface is displayed, the mail content may be edited in the content editing interface. As is known from the description in the above step S201, the content editing interface may be a document content editing interface in the document content editing client, that is, mail content may be edited in the document content editing interface as shown in fig. 3 a. Alternatively, the content editing interface may be a mail content editing interface in the mail client, that is, mail content may be edited in the mail content editing interface as shown in fig. 3 b.

Mail content may be associated with M objects based on the title replacement placeholders. Specifically, the mail content may include a name substitution placeholder, where the name substitution placeholder may include associated location indication information, where the associated location indication information may be used to indicate a storage address of object information of M objects, where M is a positive integer; that is, mail content may establish an association relationship with M objects based on the association position indication information in the title replacement placeholder; the establishment of the association relationship between the mail content and the M objects can be understood as follows: in the process of generating the mail, when the name substitution placeholder is read in the mail content, the object information of the M objects can be accessed based on the storage address of the object information of the M objects indicated by the associated position indication information in the name substitution placeholder, the object information of the M objects can be read from the storage address of the object information of the M objects, and then the M mail can be generated according to the mail content and the object information of the M objects.

The reference replacement placeholder may further comprise a marker, the marker may be used for marking the reference replacement placeholder, and the marker may be used for marking the reference replacement placeholder as follows: in generating the mail, when the tag is read in the mail content, it may be determined that there is a so-called alternate placeholder in the mail content. In the designation of the replacement placeholder, the display relationship between the marker and the associated position indication information may include any one of the following: (1) The marker can be displayed as a prefix, and the associated position indication information is displayed at a position adjacent to the prefix; that is, the marker is displayed before, and the associated position indication information is displayed at a position after the marker; that is, the so-called replacement placeholder may be expressed as "marker+associated location indication information"; as shown in fig. 3a, the replacement placeholder is referred to as "$a", and the marker "$" is displayed before the associated position indication information "a". (2) The marker can be displayed as a suffix, and the associated position indication information is displayed at a neighboring position in front of the suffix; that is, the associated position indication information is displayed before, and the marker is displayed at a position after the associated position indication information; that is, the so-called replacement placeholder may be expressed as "associated position indication information+marker"; as shown in fig. 3b, the replacement placeholder is referred to as "table 1A; table 2C; the $ ", the tag" $ "is displayed in the associated position indication information table 1A; table 2C; "after". (3) The associated position indication information may be hidden and carried in the marker, wherein the hidden and carried means that the associated position indication information is carried in the marker, but only the marker is displayed in the name of the replacement placeholder, and the associated position indication information is not displayed. Therefore, the storage addresses of the object information of the M objects indicated by the associated position indication information can be displayed more intuitively by displaying the associated position indication information in the name replacement placeholder; by hiding the associated location indication information in the title replacement placeholder, interface space of the content editing interface can be saved.

The object information of the M objects may be stored together in the same table, the object information of the M objects may be stored in at least two tables in a distributed manner, and the storage manner of the object information of the M objects is different from the display manner of the associated position indication information for indicating the storage address of the object information of the M objects, and the display manner of the associated position indication information is described below in two cases where the object information of the M objects is stored together in the same table and the object information of the M objects is stored in at least two tables in a distributed manner:

(1) Object information of the M objects is summarized and stored in the same table, and the object information may include an object identifier and an object address.

In one implementation, when object information of M objects is summarized and stored in the same table, column a of the table may be used to store object identifiers of the M objects, column B of the table may be used to store mailbox addresses of the M objects, and the object identifiers and the mailbox addresses of the same object are located in the same row of the table; in this implementation, the associated location indication information may include a location indication of a column or cell in which the object identifications of the M objects are located in the table. FIG. 3c is a schematic diagram showing a storage manner of object information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in FIG. 3c, object identifiers (such as Zhang three, lifour, etc.) of 7 objects are stored in column A of a table, and mailbox addresses (such as zhangsa n@XXX.com, etc.) of 7 objects are stored in column B of the table; then the associated position indication information may include a position indication of the column of the object identifier of the 7 objects in the table, i.e. the associated position indication information may be denoted as "a"; or, the object identifiers of the 7 objects are stored in the cells A2 to A8 of the table, and then the associated position indication information may include a position indication of the cell where the object identifier of the 7 objects is located in the table, that is, the associated position indication information may be expressed as "a2:a8"; where "A2" represents a cell formed by crossing the a-th column of the table with the 2 nd row of the table, and similarly "A8" represents a cell formed by crossing the a-th column of the table with the 8 th row of the table, and "a2:a8" represents an area formed by increasing from the cell A2 to the cell A8 in columns in the table.

In another implementation, when the object information of M objects is summarized and stored in the same table, row C of the table may be used to store object identifiers of M objects, and row D of the table may be used to store mailbox addresses of M objects, where the object identifiers and mailbox addresses of the same object are located in the same column of the table; in this implementation, the associated location indication information may include a location indication of a row or cell in the table where the object identifications of the M objects are located.

For example, object information of 8 objects is stored in two tables shown in fig. 3c and 3d, object information of 7 objects is stored in the table shown in fig. 3c, and object information of another 1 object is stored in the table shown in fig. 3 d; wherein, the object identifiers of 7 objects are stored in column A of the table shown in FIG. 3c, and the mailbox addresses of 7 objects are stored in column B of the table shown in FIG. 3 c; the object identification of the other 1 object is stored in row C of the table shown in fig. 3D, and the mailbox address of the other 1 object is stored in row D of the table shown in fig. 3D; the table of the table shown in fig. 3c is identified as table 1, and the table of the table shown in fig. 3d is identified as table 2; then the associated location indication information may be represented as "table 1A; table 2C ", the object identification distribution representing 8 objects is stored in column a of the table whose table identification is" table 1 "shown in fig. 3C and row C of the table whose table identification is" table 2 "shown in fig. 3 d; the associated location indication information may also be expressed as "table 1a2: a8; table 22C ", which represents an object identification distribution of 8 objects, is stored in the table identified as" table 1 "shown in fig. 3C, with cell A2 beginning to increment by column to the area formed by cell A8, and in cell 2C of the table identified as" table 2 "shown in fig. 3 d.

S203, generating M mails according to mail content and object information of M objects.

Any one of the M objects can be expressed as an ith object, the ith object corresponds to an ith mail piece in the M mail, and the ith mail piece is generated by adopting an object identifier of the ith object to replace a name-replacing placeholder in mail content and adding a mailbox address of the ith object. The interface schematic diagrams of the mail sending methods shown in fig. 3a and 3b show the ith mail piece 31, the generation process of the ith mail piece 31 can be referred to fig. 3e, fig. 3e shows a schematic diagram of a mail generation process provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3e, a substitution placeholder in the mail content in the ith mail piece is substituted by an object identifier "Zhang three" of the ith object, and a mailbox address "zhangsan@XXX.com" of the ith object is added as a recipient address to the ith mail piece. In addition, as shown in fig. 3a, in the process of generating the ith email according to the email content and the object information of the ith object, the content of the first row in the email content can be "Zhang Sanyouhao," which is the investigation from the XX document, "as the email subject of the ith email, in this way, the email subject can be automatically determined in the email content, so that the email generating process is more intelligent.

The specific process of generating the M mail according to the mail content and the object information of the M objects may include: firstly, taking i=1, and reading an object identifier and a mailbox address of an i-th object according to the associated position indication information in the named replacement placeholder; secondly, the object identification of the ith object can be adopted to replace the name replacement placeholder in the mail content, so that updated mail content is obtained; and adding a receiver address for the updated mail content, wherein the receiver address is the mailbox address of the ith object, and the ith mail can be generated according to the updated mail content and the receiver address; and then taking i=i+1, wherein i+1 is less than or equal to M, and repeating the steps of reading the object identification and the mailbox address, adopting the object identification to replace the name to replace the placeholder and adding the mailbox address until the object information of M objects is traversed, and generating M mail.

Taking the table in which the object identifications of M objects are summarized and stored in fig. 3c as an example, the position indication "a column" of the column where the object identifications of M objects are located in the table indicated by the association position indication information "a" in the substitution placeholder "$a" may be referred to, the object identification "Zhang san" of the 1 st object is read from the a column of the table, and the mailbox address "zhangsan@XXX.com" of the 1 st object is read from the cell B2 of the same row as the cell A2 where the object identifications of the 1 st object are located in the B column of the table; then the 1 st mail can be generated according to the mail content, the object identification of the 1 st object and the mailbox address of the 1 st object; then the table can be traversed according to the columns, and the object identification and the mailbox address of the 2 nd object are read from the table until the object identification and the mailbox address of the 7 objects are traversed, and 7 mail pieces are generated.

Taking the example that the object identifications of the M objects are distributed and stored in two tables shown in fig. 3c and 3d, the placeholder can be replaced according to the name "table 1A; table 2C; the associated location indication information in $ "", table 1A; table 2C; reading an object identifier of the 1 st object, namely 'Zhang san', from an A column of a first table with a table identifier of 'table 1', and reading a mailbox address of the 1 st object from a cell B2 which is positioned in the same row with a cell A2 in which the object identifier of the 1 st object is positioned in a B column of the first table; then the 1 st mail can be generated according to the mail content, the object identification of the 1 st object and the mailbox address of the 1 st object; then the first table can be traversed according to the columns, the object identification and the mailbox address of the 2 nd object are read from the first table until the object identification and the mailbox address of the 7 objects are traversed, and after 7 mail pieces are generated, the first table is traversed. After the first table is traversed, the object identifier "Wu Shi" of the 8 th object may be read from the row C of the second table identified as "table 2", the mailbox address "wushi@XXX.com" of the 8 th object is read from the row D of the second table and the cell 2D of the same column as the cell 2C where the object identifier of the 8 th object is located, and then the 8 th email may be generated according to the email content, the object identifier of the 8 th object and the mailbox address of the 8 th object, where the two tables are traversed, so as to generate the 8 emails.

The content editing interface may include a mail generation control, which may be used to trigger generation of M mail according to mail content and object information of M objects. When the mail generation control is selected, M mails can be generated according to mail content and object information of M objects. As shown in fig. 3a, the content editing interface 30 includes a mail generation control 301, and the generated M mail may also be displayed in the content editing interface 30, that is, the M mail may be previewed in the content editing interface 30, and the mail corresponding to the object "Zhang san" is displayed in the content editing interface shown in fig. 3 a.

S403, establishing association relation between mail content and M objects.

The triggering modes for establishing the association relation between the mail content and the M objects can comprise two triggering modes, wherein one triggering mode can be triggered through an object association entry in the content editing interface, the other triggering mode can be triggered when a name substitution placeholder is input in the content editing interface, and the following description is respectively carried out on the association process between the mail content and the M objects under the two triggering modes:

(1) Triggering through an object association entry in the content editing interface. The content editing interface can comprise an object association entry, when the object association entry is selected, a table selection window can be displayed, the table selection window can comprise table identifiers of a plurality of tables, and each table can store object information of one or more objects; when the table identification of N tables is selected in the table selection window, an association relationship can be established between the mail content and M objects stored in the N tables, wherein N is a positive integer; then, according to the established association relationship, association position indication information can be added in the title replacement placeholder in the content editing interface, and the association position indication information can be used for indicating the storage addresses of the object information of the M objects in the N tables. In addition, if there are a plurality of (e.g., two or more) name-substitution placeholders in the mail content, the associated position indication information may be added to each name-substitution placeholder in the content editing interface.

FIG. 5b is a schematic diagram of an interface of a manner of associating mail content with object information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in FIG. 5b, the content editing interface 30 may include an object association entry 303, and when the object association entry 303 is selected, a table selection window 304 may be displayed, where the table selection window 304 may include table identifiers of multiple tables, for example, table 1, table 2, and table 3; when the first table identified as "table 1" in the table selection window 304 and the second table identified as "table 2" in the table selection window 304 are selected, and the association determination option 305 in the table selection window 304 is selected, an association relationship may be established between the mail content and the objects stored in the first table, the second table, and then the association position indication information "table 1" may be displayed in the title-replace placeholder; table 2; if the mail content shown in fig. 5b includes two name-substituted placeholders, the associated position indication information table 1 may be added to both of the two name-substituted placeholders included in the mail content; table 2; ".

(2) Triggering when a title replacement placeholder is input in a content editing interface. When a title replacement placeholder is input in the content editing interface, for example, when a marker "$" in the title replacement placeholder is input in the content editing interface, a table selection window may be output, a table identifier of a plurality of tables may be included in the table selection window, and object information of one or more objects may be stored in each table; when the table identification of N tables is selected in the table selection window, an association relationship can be established between the mail content and M objects stored in the N tables, wherein N is a positive integer; and then, according to the established association relation, adding association position indication information in the title replacement placeholder in the content editing interface, wherein the association position indication information can be used for indicating the storage addresses of the object information of the M objects in the N tables.

FIG. 5c is a schematic diagram of an interface of a manner of associating mail content with object information according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in FIG. 5c, when a tag "$" in a title replacement placeholder is input in the content editing interface 30, a table selection window 304 may be displayed, where table identifiers of multiple tables, such as table 1, table 2, and table 3, may be included in the table selection window 304; when the first table identified as "table 1" in the table selection window 304 and the second table identified as "table 2" in the table selection window 304 are selected, and the association determination option 305 in the table selection window 304 is selected, an association relationship may be established between the mail content and the objects stored in the first table, the second table, and then the association position indication information "table 1" may be displayed in the title-replace placeholder; table 2; ".

In summary, the (1) and (2) can be used for triggering and establishing the association relation between the mail content and the M objects through the object association entry in the content editing interface, and also can be used for establishing the association relation between the mail content and the M objects when the name substitution placeholder is input, so that the manner of triggering and establishing the association relation is flexible and various, a user can select any one of the manners to establish the association relation, and the requirements of various mail content editing and mail content association of the user are met.

In addition, when the form identifier of any form in the form selection window is selected, a preview window of the selected form may be displayed, and the preview window may include object information of one or more objects stored in the selected form; when screening is performed in the selected form, an association relationship can be established between the mail content and the objects in the selected form; then, according to the established association relationship, association position indication information can be added in the title replacement placeholder in the content editing interface, and at this time, the association position indication information can be used for indicating the storage address of the object information of the object under screening. FIG. 5d is a schematic diagram illustrating an interface of an object screening process according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 5d, when the form identifier 306 of the first form in the form selection window 304 is selected, a preview window 307 of the first form may be displayed; when the cell where the object "li" and the object "wang" are located in the preview window 307 is selected, an association relationship may be established between the mail content and the object "li" and the object "wang", and then, according to the established association relationship, association position indication information "table 1a3:a4" may be added in the title replacement placeholder in the content editing interface, where the association position indication information "table 1a3:a4" is used to indicate that the object identifications of the object "li" and the object "wang" are stored in the cell A3 and the cell A4 of the first table whose table identification is "table 1". Through the screening function provided by the preview window, the user can select the object needing to be associated with the mail content in the preview window more intuitively and clearly without associating the mail content with all objects stored in the selected form, so that the association process is more selective.

When the table identification of any one table in the table selection window is selected, a preview window of the selected table can be displayed, and the preview window can comprise object information of one or more objects stored in the selected table; the selected form may be edited in the preview window and the content stored in the selected form may be updated according to the editing operation, where the editing operation may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: adding object information of an object in the preview window, deleting object information of an object in the preview window, modifying object information of an original object in the preview window, and the like. After editing the selected form, the selected form may be screened, an association relationship may be established between the mail content and the object in the selected form, and association position indication information may be added in the title replacement placeholder in the content editing interface according to the established association relationship. By the real-time editing function provided by the preview window, the object information stored in the table can be updated in real time in the association process, new object information is added, and wrong object information is deleted or modified, so that timeliness of the object information associated with the mail content is enhanced.

Object information of the M objects can be stored in N tables, the N tables can be online tables or local tables, and N is a positive integer; the online form is a form which can support a plurality of users to perform collaborative editing, namely, the form is supported to be checked or edited by the plurality of users at the same time or in the same time period, and the form can be updated in real time according to the collaborative editing result, and the online form is generally stored in a cloud, for example, in a cloud server; the local table is a table that does not support collaborative editing by a plurality of users, and is generally stored in a local storage space, for example, a storage space of a terminal. When the N tables are online tables, the N tables can be shared to a plurality of users for collaborative editing, and then the N tables can be updated according to the collaborative editing result. By cooperatively editing the N tables, object information of M objects stored in the N tables can be updated in real time, new object information is added, and wrong object information is deleted or modified, so that timeliness of the object information can be enhanced, time cost for respectively editing the object information by a plurality of sharing users can be reduced by cooperatively editing, and sharing of the object information can be enhanced.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the execution sequence of step S402 and step S403 is not sequential, that is, the execution sequence of the step of editing the mail content in the content editing interface and the step of establishing the association relationship between the mail content and the M objects is not sequential; after the association relation is established between the mail content and M objects, the association position indication information can be added in the name substitution placeholder of the mail content; or, in the process of editing the mail content in the content editing interface, an association relationship is established between the mail content and the M objects, for example, a marker in a name substitution placeholder is input in the content editing interface, so as to trigger the establishment of the association relationship between the mail content and the M objects; alternatively, after the association relationship between the mail content and the M objects is established, the mail content may be edited in the content editing interface, where the establishment of the association relationship between the mail content and the M objects may be understood as: and after the mail content containing the title replacement placeholders is edited in the content editing interface, the association relationship is automatically established between the mail content and the M objects.
