A system for allowing a user to send an electronic mail message. The
system including a computer system which determines information relating
to sending a message, generates coded data indicative of at least one
parameter relating to sending the message, and determines a layout
defining an arrangement for at least one of the coded data and the
information. The computer system then causes printing of a form by
printing of the coded data and the information, using the layout. The
user interacts with the form using a sensing device, which, when placed
in an operative position relative to the form, senses at least some of
the coded data and generates indicating data using at least some of the
sensed coded data. The indicating data, which is at least partially
indicative of the at least one parameter, is used by the computer system
to determine the at least one parameter and send the message using the at
least one parameter.
