1. A method of handling an electronic message between a sending user device and a recipient user device in a networked environment, the method comprising:

  • providing a first reduced traceability electronic messaging application program to a sending user device, the first reduced traceability electronic messaging application program including instructions executable by a first processor of the sending user device to provide a first plurality of reduced traceability displays via the sending user device;

    providing a second reduced traceability electronic messaging application program to a recipient user device, the second reduced traceability electronic messaging application program including instructions executable by a second processor of the recipient user device to provide a second plurality of reduced traceability displays via the recipient user device;

    receiving an electronic message at a server via a first network, the electronic message sent from the sending user device, wherein the electronic message received at the server includes an identifier of a recipient and a message content including a media component, the first plurality of reduced traceability displays including a first display and a second display, the first display configured to allow a user of the sending user mobile device to associate the message content including a media component with the electronic message, the second display configured to allow the user of the sending user mobile device to associate the identifier of a recipient with the electronic message, the instructions executable by the first processor providing the first and second displays such that the identifier of the recipient is not displayed with the media component via the first display preventing a single screen capture of both the identifier of a recipient and the media component; and

    transmitting the electronic message from the server to the recipient user device via a second network that includes a wireless communications portion, wherein the electronic message transmitted to the recipient user device includes an identifier of a sending user and the message content including a media component, the second plurality of reduced traceability displays including a third display and a fourth display, the third display presenting the identifier of a sending user, the fourth display presenting the media component, the instructions executable by the second processor providing the third and fourth displays such that the identifier of a sending user is not displayed with the media component via the fourth display preventing a single screen capture of both the identifier of a sending user and the media component, wherein the identifier of a recipient and the message content received at the server each optionally include a correlation to allow the server to receive the identifier of a recipient and the message content separately and to relate the identifier of a recipient to the message content if the identifier of a recipient is received separately from the message content at the server, and wherein the identifier of a recipient and the message content transmitted from the server each optionally include a correlation to allow the identifier of a recipient and the message content to be related to each other by the second reduced traceability electronic messaging application program if the identifier of a recipient and the message content are transmitted from the server separately.
