Abstract
Methods, in an information management system, for addressing and transmitting a handwritten message to at least one recipient using an electronic address book. In the electronic address book a short address is associated with at least one recipient, and, thus, with at least one complete receiving address of a recipient. When addressing a message written by a digital pen on a position-coded product, only the short address of the intended recipient(s) needs to be written on the product, instead of the complete address(es) of the recipient(s). The electronic address book is implemented in the digital pen used in the information management system and/or in a database of the system.
