Abstract: A method of managing the entry of individuals or email groups into their intended recipient field within a sender's email is disclosed. A predefined, static association between an intended recipient or email group and a To, CC, or BCC recipient field may be created by a sender. A new email message graphical user interface having General, To, CC, and BCC fields contained within the header is provided. When an individual or group is entered into the General recipient field it is automatically delegated to the To, CC, or BCC field with which it is associated. Provisions for ensuring that recipients with multiple field associations do not exist, that recipients with a predefined association are not entered into an incorrect field, for creating a predefined association with two recipient fields, and for creating a predefined association when none exists are also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for performing a change-over to one or more components of a computing system. As part of a change-over procedure to one or more system components (i.e. software routines) of a production computing system, a clone of one or more production system components of the production computing system may be generated on the same computing platform as the production computing system component is running. According to some embodiments of the present invention, “virtualization” is one technique which may be used to generate and maintain a clone system component or virtual machine.
