1. A method, comprising:
- storing, at a mobile device, a first specific messaging setting in association with a first recipient address, the first specific messaging setting controlling a message characteristic for outgoing messages addressed to the first recipient address;
defining an address for a distribution list, the distribution list comprising a plurality of recipient addresses;
storing a second specific messaging setting in association with the distribution list address, the second specific messaging setting controlling a message characteristic for outgoing messages addressed to the distribution list;
after defining the distribution list and the distribution list address, adding the first recipient address to the distribution list; and
in response to addition of the first recipient address to the distribution list,detecting a conflict between the first specific messaging setting and the second specific messaging setting; and
resolving the conflict by changing either the first specific messaging setting or the second specific messaging setting to no longer be in conflict with the other specific messaging setting, and storing the changed specific messaging setting.

Abstract
A method and system of selecting messaging settings on a messaging client are provided. When an outgoing message to be sent from the messaging client is addressed to a message recipient, the messaging client accesses a data store to determine whether specific messaging settings have been stored for the message recipient. If specific messaging settings have been stored for the message recipient, the messaging client selects the specific messaging settings for the message recipient to control the message characteristics of the outgoing message.

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium bearing code which, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, causes the device to implement the method of:
-
storing a first specific messaging setting in association with a first recipient address, the first specific messaging setting controlling a message characteristic for outgoing messages addressed to the first recipient address; defining an address for a distribution list, the distribution list comprising a plurality of recipient addresses; storing a second specific messaging setting in association with the distribution list address, the second specific messaging setting controlling a message characteristic for outgoing messages addressed to the distribution list; after defining the distribution list and the distribution list address, adding the first recipient address to the distribution list; and in response to addition of the first recipient address to the distribution list, detecting a conflict between the first specific messaging setting and the second specific messaging setting; and resolving the conflict by changing either the first specific messaging setting or the second specific messaging setting to no longer be in conflict with the other specific messaging setting, and storing the changed specific messaging setting.
