Abstract: A method and system for modifying the content of e-mail transmissions based on customization settings determines when an e-mail user has customized an e-mail message and prompts the user to accept or reject automatic modification of the e-mail message text to indicate a particular customization settings. The e-mail program checks the customization settings, then the e-mail program prompts the user if a customization is set for which a text modification can be automatically made. For example, a “cc:” list may be added to the message text in response to the checking detecting a list of copied recipients. The e-mail program may further parse the message text in order to avoid prompting the user to add text associated with a customization for which the user has already made an indication within the message content (message body, subject line, et cetera).

Abstract: A method and system for generating e-mail transmissions to copied recipients for providing additional information determines when an e-mail user is sending carbon-copy and/or blind carbon-copy copies of an original e-mail transmission and provides a means for providing a second message containing commentary, explanation and/or clarification information. The copy list is scanned for copied recipients and depending on e-mail program settings, prompts the sender providing an option for generating an additional message in a new window wherein the sender may type additional text. A single additional message may be generated and sent to the copied recipients, individual additional messages may be generated and sent or a first additional message for the carbon-copied recipients and a second additional message for the blind-carbon-copied recipients may be generated and sent. The additional messages may optionally contain the quoted text of the original message, whereby the sender may comment on the original text.

Abstract: A method and system for customizing e-mail transmissions based on content detection determines when an e-mail user likely intends to customize an e-mail message and prompts the user to customize the e-mail message if they have not done so. A parser parses the e-mail message (including the subject line) for clues that indicate that the sender likely intends to customize the message in a particular manner, then the e-mail program prompts the user to perform the customization. The prompt may be generated in response to the e-mail program detecting that customization settings have not been entered or may be generated unconditionally upon detecting a clue. The parser may also decompose sentences to provide matching of common phrases or meanings with phrases or meanings that indicate that the sender likely intends to perform a particular customization.
