1. A transmitting device, comprising:
- a data storage element that attaches to a first data and a second data either names or symbols, at least a portion of which is common, and stores same on a storage medium;
an inputting element that inputs a transmission request for data stored on the storage medium; and
a controller that controls such that when a transmission request for the first data is inputted from the input element, the first data and the second data are read from the storage medium, and the first data and the second data are transmitted.

Abstract
A method is described for transmitting and receiving electronic mail and a device utilized therefor, which are capable of associating a plurality of data, and transmitting and receiving the associated data via electronic mail. To achieve this object, a filename is attached to a first data and stored on a storage medium, and a filename, at least a portion of which is common to the filename of the first data, is attached to a second data and stored on the storage medium. When instructions for transmitting the first data are inputted, the first data and second data are read from the storage medium, and the first data and second data are transmitted.
