Abstract (en)
The method involves reading a unique reply code on a reply envelope (ERF), using an automatic input unit. The code is sent to an address of a determined electronic mail through an internet network (20). The address of the mail is stored in a database (26C) of a reception/distribution station (26) of a postal transporting network (22). The address is printed on the reply envelope in the form of bar codes. An independent claim is also included for a method for automatic dunning of an addressee of a courier article.
