Method for Generating an Electronic Message on an Electronic Mail Client System, Computer Program Product for Executing the Method, Computer Readable Medium Having Code Stored Thereon that Defines the Method, and a Communications Device
First Claim
1. A method for generating an electronic message on an electronic mail client that is run by a communication device, the electronic message comprising a subject header text field and a message body text field, the method comprising:
- a) parsing, by an e-mail parser, a string representing the electronic message,b) determining, by the e-mail parser, whether there is character content in the header subject text field from the parsed string;
c) determining, by the e-mail parser whether there is character content in the message body text field from the parsed string;
d) determining, by the e-mail parser whether a predefined character string is present in the subject header text field of the electronic message; and
e) inserting into the subject header text field, by the e-mail parser, a predefined character string indicating that there is no character content in the message body text field upon a determination that that there is no character content in the message body text field and no predefined character string is present in the subject header text field.

Abstract
A method for generating an electronic message on an electronic mail client system includes the steps of parsing, by an e-mail parser, a string representing the electronic message, determining, by the e-mail parser, from the parsed string whether there is character content in the header subject text field, determining, by the e-mail parser, from the parsed string whether there is character content in the message body text field, determining, by the e-mail parser, whether a predefined character string is present in a subject header text field of the electronic message, and inserting, by the e-mail parser, into the subject header text field a predefined character string indicating that there is no character content in the message body text field when there is no content in the body text field. A non-transitory computer readable medium and communication device configured to facilitate implementation of the method are also disclosed.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium having code stored thereon that defines a method that is implemented when the code is executed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
a) parsing, by an e-mail parser, a string representing an electronic message having a message body text field and a subject header text field; b) determining, by the e-mail parser, whether there is character content in the header subject text field from the parsed string; c) determining, by the e-mail parser whether there is character content in the message body text field from the parsed string; d) determining, by the e-mail parser whether a predefined character string is present in the subject header text field of the electronic message; and e) inserting into the subject header text field, by the e-mail parser, a predefined character string indicating that there is no character content in the message body text field upon a determination that that there is no character content in the message body text field and no predefined character string is present in the subject header text field. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A communications device having a processor communicatively connected to non-transitory memory, the device also having an electronic mail (e-mail) client comprising an e-mail parser, the e-mail client configured to be run to carry out a method comprising:
-
a) parsing, by the e-mail parser, a string representing an electronic message having a message body text field and a subject header text field; b) determining, by the e-mail parser, whether there is character content in the header subject text field from the parsed string; c) determining, by the e-mail parser whether there is character content in the message body text field from the parsed string; d) determining, by the e-mail parser whether a predefined character string is present in the subject header text field of the electronic message; and e) inserting into the subject header text field, by the e-mail parser, a predefined character string indicating that there is no character content in the message body text field upon a determination that that there is no character content in the message body text field and no predefined character string is present in the subject header text field. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
