Claim:
A facsimile device, comprising: an e-mail transmitting unit that transmits an e-mail to a destination address; an e-mail receiving unit that receives an e-mail, having a body part, addressed to an e-mail account allocated to the facsimile device; a body-part-print setting unit that sets to print or not to print the body part of the e-mail that the device e-mail receiving unit has received; an attached-file discriminating unit that determines whether the e-mail that the e-mail receiving unit has received is accompanied by an attached file; a normal print determining unit that determines whether to print the body part of the e-mail based on a setting set by the body-part-print setting unit and determines to print contents of the attached file, when the attached-file discriminating unit determines that the e-mail is accompanied by the attached file; an error mail discriminating unit that determines that an e-mail currently received by the e-mail receiving unit is an error mail which notifies that an previously e-mail transmitted by the e-mail transmitting unit is undelivered when the currently received e-mail is not accompanied by the attached file; and a body-part-print determining unit that orders printing of the body part of the e-mail regardless of the setting set by the body-part-print setting unit when the error mail discriminating unit determines that the e-mail is the error mail.
