Claim:
An information communication terminal that displays, together with a received mail list, at least part of a message of a received mail in a predetermined display area, comprising: a receiver configured to receive a mail; a memory configured to store therein the received mail in association with unread/read information indicating whether the received mail has already been read; a controller configured to make a judgment on whether all of the message of the received mail is displayed in the predetermined display area and to perform an update in a case when the judgment is affirmative so that the unread/read information indicates that the received mail has already been read, wherein the controller compares a count of characters included in the message of the received mail and a count of characters that can be displayed in the predetermined display area, and makes the judgment affirmatively in a case where the count of characters included in the message of the received mail is equal to or less than the count of characters that can be displayed in the predetermined display area, and the controller further detects, in a case where a linefeed code is included in the message of the received mail, the count of characters included in the message of the received mail by calculating a total number of displayed characters preceding a position in the line where the linefeed code is inserted, wherein the linefeed code comprises code for starting a new character line.
