Patent Images
1. A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising:
- computer code to identify an electronic mail message at a device;
computer code to calculate a numerical risk value of the electronic mail message based on predefined criteria established by a recipient;
computer code to assign one of a plurality of risk rankings to the electronic mail message based at least in part on the calculated numerical risk value, each risk ranking of the plurality of risk rankings corresponding to a risk value range;
computer code to display the electronic mail message and a risk indicator in a user-configurable manner according to the assigned risk ranking;
computer code to detect a selection of the risk indicator; and
computer code to display one or more characteristics of the electronic mail message that resulted in the assigned risk ranking in response to the detected selection.

17. A method, comprising:
-
identifying an electronic mail message at a device of a recipient; calculating a numerical risk rating of the electronic mail message based on predefined criteria established by the recipient; assigning one of a plurality of risk rankings to the electronic mail message based, at least in part, on the numerical risk rating, each risk ranking corresponding to a risk rating range; displaying the electronic mail message and a corresponding risk indicator in a user-configurable manner according to the assigned risk ranking; detecting a selection of the risk indicator; and displaying one or more characteristics of the electronic mail message that resulted in the assigned risk ranking in response to the detection of the selection.
