            Appeal 2007-0717                                                                                  
            Application 09/993,277                                                                            

        1             o Whether the art applied shows or suggests routing from a web server                   
        2                or default server (claims 2, 4 and 14; Br. 17-18 and 22).                            
        3             o Whether the art applied shows or suggests a web server creating an                    
        4                email message to communicate the submitted information (claim 5;                     
        5                Br. 18-19).                                                                          
        6             o Whether the art applied shows or suggests messages that contain                       
        7                characteristic information regarding user language, location, or                     
        8                country (claims 7-8, 10-12, and 18; Br. 19-24).                                      
        9       In particular, Appellants contend that Miloslavsky teaches routing the emails                 
       10   from the email server 102 to a client computer based on the user logged onto the                  
       11   client computer, and thus, Miloslavsky is not concerned with routing of an email                  
       12   message to an appropriate one of a plurality of email servers, but instead addresses              
       13   how, once an email message is received at an email server, to route the email                     
       14   message to one of a plurality of different clients of the email server (Br. 13-14).               
       15   Appellants further contend that applying Miloslavsky to email servers would                       
       16   change its principle of operation and that Tarbotton does not require separate e-                 
       17   mail servers for each recipient and that merely because support persons may be                    
       18   located in different remote areas does not require separate e-mail servers for those              
       19   persons to be able to receive e-mails. (Br. 15-16).                                               
       20                                                                                                     
       21                         FACTS PERTINENT TO THE ISSUES                                               
       22       The following Findings of Fact (FF), supported by a preponderance of                          
       23   evidence, are pertinent to the above issues.                                                      
       24       01. Miloslavsky involves a system for routing an e-mail to one of a plurality                 
       25              of support persons in a processing center. The system comprises an e-                  
                                                      4
