Abstract :
VistaMail, a fully integrated multimedia mailing system, lets users easily create, send, and view audio and video components. The system treats these components as part of a single unified message rather than as additions to the text portion. This article discusses the design of the multimedia mail system and some of the issues involved in implementing it
