Abstract
A system and method is provided for selectively presenting received messages to a user via a visual or audio interface while redacting potentially sensitive information or notification of messages containing sensitive information. When a message is received, the message content is compared to predefined criteria to determine whether it contains sensitive information. If the message contains sensitive information, its header information, which is normally presented in a message mailbox listing or in an audible notification, is redacted to remove some or all of the header content. The user may still review the entire message as received by the user'"'"'s communication device without redaction.
