  • Patent number: 7908329
    Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that enhance the security of electronic mail messages and folders. Messages that are deemed to be less secure and have a higher security risk, such as unsolicited commercial e-mail (i.e. SPAM) and phishing messages, are reformatted and displayed in plain text with hyperlinks disabled in certain circumstances. For example, messages in a junk e-mail folder may be reformatted and displayed in plain text with hyperlinks disabled to make them safer for the user to interact with.

  • Patent number: 7882146
    Abstract: The present invention provides “XML Schema Collections” and methods and systems for using the same. XML data is typically stored as an XML instance, each of which should conform to a “schema” according to a desired goal. An XML schema provides identification and organization for the data supplied by an XML instance. XML Schema Collections are collections of one or more XML schema namespaces. A storage location designated for storage of XML data, such as an XML column in a relational database, can be “typed” with an XML Schema Collection object, allowing that storage location to store XML instances that conform to more than one XML schema. XML Schema Collections provide increased data storage versatility, and facilitation of data searches.

  • Publication number: 20070044149
    Abstract: Anti-Phishing protection assists in protecting against phishing attacks. Any links that are contained within a message that has been identified as a phishing message are disabled. A warning message is shown when the phishing message is accessed. The first time a disabled link within the phishing message is selected a dismissible dialog box is displayed containing information about how to enable links in the message. After the user dismisses the dialog, clicking on a disabled link causes the warning message to flash drawing the user's attention to the potential severity of the problem. The links may be enabled by the user by selecting the warning message and choosing the appropriate option. Once the user enables the links, future displays of the message show the links as enabled.
