ABSTRACT:
An electronic mail object on a data processing system contains a request that the recipient perform an action. In addition, the electronic mail object contains an action or command for carrying out the request. Upon receipt of the electronic mail object, the recipient can carry out the request by selecting the action. The action is marked by starting and ending markers so that it can be isolated and extracted from the electronic mail object. Once extracted, the action is executed on the data processing system. In addition, the recipient can establish criteria for evaluating whether the selected command should be executed.
