1. A computer-implemented method of reducing traceability of an electronic message, the method comprising:
- a sender-side portion including;
receiving an input of a recipient address of an electronic message at a first computer, the recipient address input by a first user;
receiving from the first user an input of a message content of the electronic message at the first computer; and
associating the recipient address with a message header for the electronic message;
an intermediate portion including;
transmitting the message header and message content from the first computer to a second computer;
a recipient-side portion including;
providing a display of the message header via the second computer; and
providing a display of the message content via the second computer;
wherein the message header and the message content are separated throughout the sender-side, intermediate, and recipient-side portions of the method.

Abstract
An electronic messaging system and method with reduced traceability. An electronic message is separated into a message content and a message header. The message content and header information are entered by a user separately and transmitted from the user computer separately. The message content and header information are stored and displayed separately throughout the process of entry by a sending user and reading by a recipient user. In yet another implementation, an electronic message is permanently automatically deleted from the system at a predetermined time.

17. A computer-implemented method of reducing traceability of an electronic message, the method comprising:
-
providing at a first computer a first display including a first interface for allowing a first user to input a recipient address of an electronic message; receiving an input of a recipient address by the first user; providing at the first computer a second display including a second interface for allowing the first user to input a message content; receiving a message content of the electronic message, wherein the recipient address and the message content are not displayed at the first computer at the same time; associating the recipient address with a message header for the electronic message; transmitting the message header and message content separately from the first computer to one or more server computers; storing the message header and message content at the one or more server computers such that the message header and message content are stored separately; transmitting the message header and message content separately from the one or more server computers to a second computer; providing at the second computer a third display including the message header; and providing at the second computer a fourth display including the message content, the third and fourth displays not being displayed at the same time; wherein the message header and message content are not allowed to be displayed at the first computer or the second computer at the same time, are stored separately, and are transmitted from the first computer to the second computer separately. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A computer readable hardware storage medium containing computer executable instructions implementing a method of reducing traceability of an electronic message, the instructions comprising:
-
a set of instructions for receiving an input of a recipient address of an electronic message at a first computer, the recipient address input by a first user; a set of instructions for receiving from the first user an input of a message content of the electronic message at the first computer; and a set of instructions for associating the recipient address with a message header for the electronic message; a set of instructions for transmitting the message header and message content from the first computer to a second computer; a set of instructions for providing a display of the message header via the second computer; and a set of instructions for providing a display of the message content via the second computer; wherein the message header and message content are not allowed to be displayed at the first computer or the second computer at the same time, are stored separately, and are transmitted from the first computer to the second computer separately. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
