Summary:A data distribution system includes a server computer for transmitting email files to a computer network for access by remote computers having email client computer software for displaying the email files; the server includes a script program as a portion of a secondary e-mail message that also includes tracking information; a predefined message is also stored as a main message, the script program also including a command that displays the predefined message by retrieving the second source file. The Script program can further include a command for passing information to the server computer, and a command for replacing a first image with a second image. When the server computer receives the transmitted information, a reply is transmitted, and the script program executes the command for replacing in response to the reply. The command for passing the information can be executed in response to a user action directed to the first image. The reply can be transmitted upon completion of a task initiated in response to the user action for providing visual confirmation of task completion. Also disclosed are methods for distributing the messages and signaling completion of server tasks by exchanging button images.
