Abstract
100110018-1 A method for a user to program an electronic system not having a QWERTY keypad. A user-generated electronic mail message is originated via a remote keypad. The electronic mail message includes user-selected preference data, and is communicated to an electronic mail destination. The user-selected preference data is automatically extracted from the electronic mail message, transmitted to the electronic system, and used to configure the electronic system.
