　本発明は、主に、受信した電子メールを表示する電子メール受信装置、及びそのような電子メール受信装置の電子メール表示方法に関する。 The present invention mainly relates to an electronic mail receiving apparatus for displaying received electronic mail, and an electronic mail displaying method of such an electronic mail receiving apparatus.
　近年、インターネットへの接続環境の向上とともに、パーソナルコンピュータ（ＰＣ）や携帯電話等を用いて電子メールの送受信を行うユーザが増えてきている。 In recent years, along with the improvement of the connection environment to the Internet, the number of users who transmit and receive e-mails using a personal computer (PC), a mobile phone or the like is increasing.
　ユーザは、電子メールを利用することにより、電話等に比べて気軽にコミュニケーションをとることができるなど、電子メールの利用には様々なメリットがある。 There are various merits to the use of the e-mail, such as that the user can communicate freely by using the e-mail as compared with the telephone etc.
　しかしながら、一方では、悪質業者などが、大量の迷惑メール（スパムメール）を送信するために、ユーザに対して様々な不利益を招いている。 However, on the other hand, malicious traders and the like have various disadvantages for users because they send a large amount of spam (spam) emails.
　そのような不利益のひとつとして、ユーザが迷惑メールに張られているリンクを不用意にクリックして、意図しないページに誘導されてしまうという問題があり、そのような意図しないページの中には、例えば、当該ページにアクセスしたＰＣにインストールされたオペレーティングシステム（ＯＳ）の脆弱性を利用して、ユーザに深刻な被害を与えるものも存在する。 One such disadvantage is that the user inadvertently clicks a link in a spam e-mail, and is directed to an unintended page, and such unintended pages include For example, there is also one that causes serious damage to a user by utilizing a vulnerability of an operating system (OS) installed on a PC that has accessed the page.
　この問題に対処するために、様々な発明がなされており、例えば、特許文献１には、受信した全電子メールに含まれているリンク先の各々について、当該リンク先の検出回数、及び当該リンク先へのユーザからのアクセス要求の回数の統計をとり、検出回数が所定の回数以上であって検出回数に対するアクセス要求の回数の比が小さい場合には、有害なリンク先と判断し、ユーザが当該リンク先にアクセスしようとしたときに警告を発する方法が開示されている。 In order to address this problem, various inventions have been made. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses the number of detections of the link destination and the number of links for each of the link destinations included in all the received e-mails. Statistics of the number of access requests from users ahead are taken, and if the number of detections is equal to or greater than a predetermined number and the ratio of the number of access requests to the number of detections is small, it is determined as a harmful link destination and the user A method is disclosed that issues a warning when trying to access the link destination.
　また、特許文献２、及び非特許文献１には、ブラックリストに登録されているリンク先を含む電子メールを受信したときに電子メールを破棄したり、電子メールを受信しないようにしたりすることが示されている。 Further, according to Patent Document 2 and Non-Patent Document 1, when an electronic mail including a link destination registered in the blacklist is received, discarding the electronic mail or preventing reception of the electronic mail It is shown.
日本国公開特許公報「特開２００７－２６５３６８号公報（平成１９年１０月１１日公開）」Japanese patent publication "Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-265368 (October 11, 2007 published)" 日本国公開特許公報「特開２００７－２８０６０号公報（平成１９年２月１日公開）」Japanese published patent publication "Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-28060 (released on February 1, 2007)"
　しかしながら、ブラックリストに登録されているリンク先を含む電子メールを破棄したり、受信しないようにしたりする上記従来の構成では、電子メールに含まれているリンク先がブラックリストに登録されていなければ、信頼できない相手から電子メールが送られた場合であっても、当該リンク先を含んだ電子メールを受信する。従って、例えば、リンク先が有害なサイトであっても、受信者がリンクをする可能性があるという問題を生じる。 However, in the above-described conventional configuration for discarding or not receiving e-mails including link destinations registered in the blacklist, the link destinations included in the e-mail are not registered in the blacklist. Even when an e-mail is sent from an unreliable party, the e-mail including the link destination is received. Therefore, for example, even if the link destination is a harmful site, there arises a problem that the receiver may link.
　本発明は、上記の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、信頼できない相手から送信された電子メールに記載された通信先指定情報（ＵＲＬ、メールアドレス、または電話番号）に不用意にアクセスできないように、当該通信先指定情報のリンク表示を無効にした状態で電子メールを表示する電子メール受信装置、電子メール表示方法、及び電子メール受信プログラムを実現することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to fail in communication destination designation information (URL, mail address or telephone number) described in an electronic mail transmitted from an unreliable party. An e-mail receiving apparatus, an e-mail display method, and an e-mail receiving program for displaying an e-mail in a state in which the link display of the communication destination designation information is invalidated so that the information can not be accessed easily.
　本発明に係る電子メール受信装置は、上記課題を解決するために、通信先指定情報を本文中に含む電子メールを受信する電子メール受信装置であって、上記電子メールの送信元を表わす送信元情報のうち規定の部分が、規定の安全送信元情報に一致するか否かを判定する判定手段と、上記判定手段によって一致すると判定された場合に、上記通信先指定情報をリンク表示した状態で上記電子メールを表示する表示手段と、を備えていることを特徴としている。 An electronic mail receiving apparatus according to the present invention is an electronic mail receiving apparatus for receiving an electronic mail including communication destination designation information in the text in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a transmission source representing a transmission source of the electronic mail. In a state in which the communication destination designation information is linked and displayed when the determination means determines whether or not the specified part of the information matches the specified safety transmission source information, and the determination means determines that the information matches. And display means for displaying the e-mail.
　上記の構成によれば、電子メール受信装置は、電子メールの送信元を表わす送信元情報のうち規定の部分が、規定の安全送信元情報に一致するか否かを判定する。例えば、電子メール受信装置は、送信元メールアドレスのドメイン名の部分が規定のドメイン名に一致するか否かを判定する。そして、電子メール受信装置は、規定の部分が規定の安全送信元情報と一致すると判定された場合に、通信先指定情報をリンク表示した状態で電子メールを表示する。例えば、電子メール受信装置は、送信元メールアドレスのドメイン名の部分が規定のドメイン名に一致すると判定された場合、ＵＲＬをリンク表示した状態で電子メールを表示する。 According to the above configuration, the electronic mail receiving device determines whether or not a prescribed part of the transmission source information representing the transmission source of the electronic mail matches the prescribed safety transmission source information. For example, the e-mail receiving apparatus determines whether or not the part of the domain name of the sender e-mail address matches a prescribed domain name. Then, when it is determined that the predetermined part matches the predetermined safety transmission source information, the electronic mail receiving device displays the electronic mail in a state where the communication destination designation information is linked and displayed. For example, if it is determined that the domain name part of the sender email address matches the prescribed domain name, the email receiving apparatus displays the email in a state where the URL is linked.
