PROCESSING INCOMING MESSAGES
First Claim
1. A method for processing incoming messages, said method comprising:
- scanning, by a processor of the computer, an incoming message, wherein the incoming message is an email message sent by a sender;
detecting, by the processor, one or more resource links in the scanned incoming message, wherein the one or more resource links are in the sender'"'"'s email signature in the email message; and
in response to said detecting the one or more resource links in the scanned incoming message, determining, by the processor, that users of the computer are likely to request a content of the detected one or more resource links, said determining, that the users are likely to request the content of the detected one or more resource links, being based at least on;
a type of the one or more detected resource links, a type of network to which the computer is connected, and a determination that the detected one or more resource links are pointing to one or more files and are not pointing to a corporate website.
