System and method for managing a file attached to an e-mail. Added to a file name of the attached file is an address or derivation of the address from which a voice message associated with the attached file can be accessed. The file name with the address is displayed in the e-mail adjacent to an icon for the attached file. The derivation of the address is formed by identifying character(s) in the address or syntax of the address which are incompatible with file naming rules of a computer to receive the file and replacing the incompatible character(s) or syntax with corresponding character(s) or syntax which are compatible with file naming rules of the computer to receive the file. The address or derivation of the address can be merged with the file name. The voice message can describe a content of the file.
