ABSTRACT:
A method and system for user-customizable forms in an electronic mail system is provided. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, an electronic mail system provides for the receiving and displaying of mail information in conjunction with the use of a user-customizable form. The user provides a form data structure containing a description of the form fields and a form control procedure that implements the behavior of the fields. A transaction event processor is provided that invokes the form control procedure in response to the occurrence of events. The events include user entry of data. When the form control procedure completes the processing of the event, it returns to the transaction event processor. The electronic mail system provides the means for sending mail messages input through the use of a user-developed form.
