Abstract

A message notification system and methodology including an on-the-fly message parser which parses data in an incoming message as the message is received and produces on-the-fly parsed information and an on-the-fly message notification generator, producing a message notification in response to the on-the-fly parsed information, at least partially while the on-the-fly message parser parses the data in the incoming message.

Claims

1. An message notification system, comprising:

an on-the-fly message parser which parses data in an incoming message as the message is received and produces on-the-fly parsed information; and

an on-the-fly message notification generator, producing a message notification in response to said on-the-fly parsed information, at least partially while the on-the-fly message parser parses said data in said incoming message.

2. The system of

claim 1

and further comprising a connection manager including socket queue for coordinating operation of the on-the-fly message parser and the on-the-fly message notification generator.

3. The system of

claim 1

further comprising a filter manager cooperating with said on-the-fly message parser and with said on-the-fly message notification generator to determine whether a notification message should be generated, based on the parsed information.

4. The system of

claim 1

wherein the on-the-fly message parser comprises a MIME parser.

5. The system of

claim 1

wherein said MIME parser is operative to accumulate MIME encoded data until it contains at least a minimum amount of relevant information and then to decode said MIME encoded data on-the-fly.

6. A MIME parser comprising:

an accumulator which accumulates MIME encoded data until it contains at least a minimum amount of relevant information; and

an on-the-fly MIME decoder, which decodes the accumulated MIME encoded data on-the-fly.

7. An message notification method, comprising:

on-the-fly parsing of data in an incoming message as the message is received to produce on-the-fly parsed information; and

on-the-fly message notification generating, producing a message notification in response to said on-the-fly parsed information, at least partially while the on-the-fly message parsing said data in said incoming message.

8. The method of

claim 7

and further comprising coordinating said on-the-fly message parsing and said on-the-fly message notification generating.

9. The method of

claim 7

further comprising employing said on-the-fly message parsing and with said on-the-fly message notification generating to determine whether a notification message should be generated, based on said parsed information.

10. The method of

claim 7

wherein said on-the-fly message parsing comprises MIME parsing.

11. The method of

claim 7

wherein said MIME parsing includes accumulating MIME encoded data until at least a minimum amount of relevant information is accumulated and then decoding MIME encoded data on-the-fly.

12. A MIME parsing method comprising:

accumulating MIME encoded data until at least a minimum amount of relevant information is accumulated; and

on-the-fly MIME decoding of the accumulated MIME encoded data.
