A download decision section decides whether or not an electronic mail received by a mail communication section is a DL instruction message indicative of an instruction for downloading a program. A notification/instruction section puts on a light of a lamp when the download instruction message is received, and outputs a download execution instruction when a confirmation button with lamp is pushed down. A DL execution section executes a download of the program according to a download execution instruction. The download execution section generates a download request message to a downloaded data storage server via the mail communication section, and extracts the program from a program attached electronic mail transmitted from the downloaded data storage server. Accordingly, it is possible to make a rewrite of data easier and to process various types of data. The above-mentioned processing thus facilitates a rewrite of data and enables various types of data to be processed.

A net database retains, for each user, information about a portable terminal and user information including designation of a destination of electronic mail. A determination module determines whether the contents of electronic mail received by a mail server are displayable at the portable terminal of a destination user. If it is determined that the contents are displayable, the electronic mail is sent to the portable terminal of the destination user. If it is determined that the contents are not displayable, the determination module determines the destination of the electronic mail in accordance with the user information. A conversion module converts the electronic mail data into a form outputtable at the destination. The converted data is provided to the destination apparatus, and a notification representing this is notified to the portable terminal.
