Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to facilitate access to an information address. According to one embodiment, it is determined that an information address is related to an electronic message. For example, a URL address may be received in an e-mail message. The information address is then associated with the electronic message and/or a message address. According to another embodiment, an information address is determined along with metadata associated with the information address (e.g., by accessing a Web site associated with a URL address). It is then determined at a user device whether or not the information address will be stored based on the metadata.
