Abstract
For an electronic communication environment, an apparatus for refining addresses in a group messaging environment is disclosed. The apparatus may include a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor, including code that identifies a message addressed to a group, resolves the group into a plurality of addressees, and sends the message to a subset of the addressees. The apparatus may notify the user that the message is addressed to the group. The apparatus may further receive user input defining the subset of the addressees, wherein the message is addressed based on the user input. Additionally, the apparatus may prompt for confirmation in response to the user selecting all addressees in the group. A method and computer program product also perform the functions of the apparatus.
