Abstract
A computer implemented method and computer program product for efficiently managing messages handled by electronic messaging systems. A unique header is associated with a first electronic message and a link is created, which is associated with the unique header. The link is embedded in a second electronic message as part of an electronic message chain originating with the first electronic message. The second electronic message is transmitted with the embedded link to a set of recipients without the first electronic message.

19. A computer implemented method for managing messages handled by electronic messaging systems, the computer implemented method comprising:
-
creating a unique header associated with a first electronic message; creating a link associated with the unique header; embedding the link in a second electronic message, wherein an electronic message chain comprises the first electronic message and the second electronic message, and wherein the electronic message chain originates with the first electronic message; transmitting the second electronic message and the embedded link to a set of recipients without the first electronic message; generating a previous histories marker within each electronic message, wherein the previous histories marker indicates the number of electronic messages in the electronic message chain; responsive to a selection of the link in the second electronic message, retrieving the first electronic message, wherein retrieving the first electronic message comprises pre-fetching the first electronic message content and generating a pop-up window containing the first electronic message content; responsive to a current recipient of the electronic message chain adding a new recipient, displaying new recipient access options for an electronic message history to the current recipient; and responsive to receiving a selection of the new recipient access options by the current recipient, managing the access of the new recipient to the electronic message history; responsive to a first user attaching an electronic file to the first electronic message, sending the electronic file with the first electronic message to a set of intended recipients; responsive to a second user replying to the first electronic message to create the second electronic message, sending the second electronic message to the set of intended recipients without the electronic file; responsive to a third user forwarding the first electronic message to a new recipient to create a third electronic message, sending the third electronic message to the new recipient without the electronic file. - View Dependent Claims (20)
