Abstract
A novel system and method for initiating, via a mobile device utilizing really simple syndication (RSS), the sending of messages from a user'"'"'s desktop computer to one or more recipients. The mechanism establishes a connection between the mobile device and the user'"'"'s PC whereby data is served from the user'"'"'s PC to the mobile device to permit the mobile user to make document and recipient selections. A conventional email application at the user'"'"'s PC generates and sends the messages which may be sent with or without attachments (e.g., documents) depending on the mobile user'"'"'s preference. Document and recipient lists in RSS format (or any other suitable format) are provided to the mobile device for display to the mobile user. The mobile user makes document and recipient selections which are conveyed to the user PC. The user PC generates and sends the requested messages with the selected documents to each of the recipients on the received contact list.
