Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of reducing traceability of an electronic message having header information and a message content, the method comprising:
- (a) providing a first display including at least a portion of the header information via a first computer of a first user;
(b) in response to a first request from said first user, providing a second display including the message content via said first computer, the message content and the header information not being displayed at the same time to reduce traceability of said electronic message;
(c) automatically deleting the header information at a first predetermined time; and
(d) automatically deleting the message content at a second predetermined time.
