Abstract: An Internet facsimile apparatus is provided such that, even when an electronic mail includes plural data files that cannot be processed by the apparatus, prints the electronic mail normally. The apparatus includes a mail analyzer that determines whether a received electronic mail includes data that cannot be printed by a printer. When the electronic mail includes such unprintable data, the unprintable data is transmitted to a conversion server. The apparatus receives back printable data converted from the unprintable data from the conversion server and prints the printable data. The apparatus stores an indication that a plurality of printable data converted from a plurality of unprintable data has been received back from the conversion server. A message ID processor checks the indication, and the printer is informed regarding an object to be printed in accordance with the result of checking by the message ID processor.
