Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for managing attachments to an email in an email application, as well as an email application comprising means for implementing such a method.
- a typical email application does not, however, consider changes to the attachment (s) and always presents the email with the original document.
- the modified attachment is often stored by default in a temporary folder in the system folder, and may be lost when the original attachment is reopened.
- a user can choose to save the original attachment in a personal folder, in order to safely modify the attachment and find it easily later.
- the user In order to differentiate the modified attachment from the original, the user must make sure to save the modified attachment under a different name.
- he wishes to reply to the sender of the e-mail to inform him of the modifications he has made to the original attachment and / or forward the e-mail with the modified attachment to other parties he must Also be sure to attach the email to send the correct attachment, with the risk of being wrong, especially if it has to repeat these operations for several emails and / or several attachments.
- the user can also choose to take into account the default behavior of the email application, and thus try to search on his terminal the temporary file where the modifications of the attachment (s) are saved, with the risk that they will be permanently lost.
- the invention aims to improve the prior art by allowing a user of an email application to modify and save safely the changes made to the attachments of his emails while avoiding him wasting time repeating tedious operations.
- the invention also facilitates and secures the response and / or the transfer of an email with an attachment thus modified.
- the invention proposes a method for managing the attachments to an email in an email application, said method providing, on opening an attachment by means of an application of an email application. editing defined according to the nature of said attachment, editing a copy of said attachment and saving the changes to said copy as a modified version of said attachment, said method further providing for creating a link between the modified version and the email, the logical link to attach the modified version to the email as a modified attachment.
- the invention proposes an electronic mail application comprising:
- an attachment management module comprising: Means for editing a copy of said attachment when it is opened;
- the email application can be locally installed on the user's terminal, such as Microsoft Outlook®.
- the email application can also be located in a remote server, or provided by a website, such as Gmail® or Yahoo Mail®.
- the email application includes means 1 for opening an attachment to an email by means of an editing application defined according to the nature of said attachment.
- an editing application defined according to the nature of said attachment.
- the editing application might be a version of the Microsoft Word® word processing application or the OpenOffice.org Writer® application.
- the email application includes an attachment management module 2, said module comprising means 3 for editing a copy of an attachment when it is opened and means 4 for saving the modifications made to said copy as modified version of the said attachment.
- the means 4 saves the modified version of the attachment in the folder 5 of the email application in which the attachments to the received emails are recorded.
- the user can save the different modified versions of his attachments in a secure and permanent folder.
- the folder 5 can be located in any system folder accessible by the email application. It can for example be located in the hard disk of the user's terminal, or in a storage space provided by a remote server or by a network.
- the module 2 further comprises means 6 for creating a logical link between the modified version of an attachment and the email containing said attachment, said logical link to attach said modified version to said email as a modified attachment.
- the logical link created by means 6 can take many forms and depends on both the system and the email application. According to one embodiment, the means 6 create the logical link by giving parameters to the editing application to specify to said application that the modified version of the copy edited by the means 3 must be saved in the file 5 and linked to the email containing the original attachment.
- the logical link can consist of a connector (for English hook) to keep track of the piece modified attachment and automatically link the modified attachment to folder 5 when the user has finished making changes.
- the method therefore provides for viewing an email with its received and modified attachments, said modified attachments being presented to distinguish them from the received attachments.
- a modified attachment may be arranged in an email beside the attachment received with the email, with a visual indicator, such as a transparency effect, applied to its icon to distinguish it from the received attachment.
- a visual indicator such as a transparency effect
- the method may also provide for a modified attachment to be named in the email by changing the name of the original attachment.
- the module 2 comprises an iterative variable function 7 making it possible to name the modified attachment by modifying the name of the original attachment, for example by adding to said name a number corresponding to the number of the copy edited by the means 3 of the module 2.
- the function 7 modifies the name of the attachment by replacing the number in the name with the consecutive number.
- the link created between a modified version of an attachment and an email makes it possible to make said modified version available throughout the lifetime of said email.
- the modified version is automatically linked to a response operation to the email, or to a transfer operation of said email, which prevents the user from manually attaching said modified version to said email, and thus limits the loss of time and the risk of error.
- the email application may include means 8 for issuing a specific notification when an email containing at least one modified attachment is about to be sent. to be deleted. The user can then decide to save the modified attachment (s) in another folder or delete the attached part (s) with the email. .
