Reduced traceability electronic message system and method for sending header information before message content
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of reducing traceability of an electronic message having header information and a message content, the method comprising:
- providing at a first computer a first display including an interface allowing a first user to input an address of a recipient of an electronic message;
receiving at the first computer an input of a recipient address from the first user;
generating a unique message ID for the recipient address and assigning the message ID to the recipient address;
transmitting the recipient address from the first computer;
providing a second display including an interface allowing the first user to input a message content, the first and second displays not being displayed at the same time;
receiving at the first computer the message content from the first user, wherein the recipient address is transmitted from the first computer before the completion of said receiving of the message content from the first user at the first computer;
assigning the message ID to the message content; and
transmitting the message content from the first computer, wherein the message content is transmitted from the first computer separately from the recipient address.

Abstract
An electronic messaging system and method with reduced traceability. An electronic message is separated into a message content and container (header) information. In one aspect, the message content and header information are entered by a user separately and transmitted from the user computer separately. In another implementation, the message content and header information are displayed separately. In yet another implementation, an electronic message is permanently automatically deleted from the system at a predetermined time.
