Summary:This paper presents multimedia mail (MMM), an implementation of the SMHMS (simple multimedia hypermedia mail system) which uses the World Wide Web (WWW) for creating multimedia messages. The SMHMS is multimedia/hypermedia electronic mail system model, which deals with issues related to network traffic generation and storage management. For reasons of implementation flexibility and portability, the system is built on top of existing mail protocols, in particular the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP). In MMM, the exchanged messages are WWW "webs". The HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) and WWW servers are used for transferring multimedia information.
