The Ambassador Fox example is more akin to how I read the patent.
Regardless, back in 1995, I was using my email client to surf the
World Wide Web.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Your example is the basic case. Here are a couple more that might require a
plug-in (a la Evolution):
Case A: An e-mail message has links to several chunks of boilerplate text. The
e-mail client sees the links and replaces them with those text blocks.
NB - This bears a distinct resemblance to a COBOL compiler expanding
"COPY" statements.
Case B: An e-mail message has links to several web pages. The e-mail client sees
the links and turns them into thumbnails that can be magnified and/or launched
in a browser.
Some of this could have been done back in the 1980's on an IBM mainframe running
PROFS. Plus, I suspect that Boeing may have had a CAD/CAM precursor to this
turkey of a patent.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
