Abstract: A computer system and associated method to distribute an electronic communication object. The electronic communication object comprises a main communication and a first sub-communication object. The first sub-communication object is embedded within a main communication object. The main communication object comprises a first set of attributes and a first addressee. The first sub-communication object comprises a second set of attributes and a second addressee. A hierarchal relationship exists between the main communication object and the first sub-communication object such that the first sub-communication object inherits one or more of the first set of attributes from the main communication object if said one or more of the second set of attributes is not specified in the first sub-communication object. The main communication object and a first outline of the first sub-communication object is sent to the first addressee. The first sub-communication object is sent to the second addressee.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing a heuristics service using a generically-consumable, reusable heuristics manager object. This heuristics manager object provides a “black box” approach to statistically-triggered heuristics, and eliminates the need to write application-specific code for compiling statistics and performing complicated analysis of those statistics within each application program. In one embodiment, the heuristics manager object is provided as a web-accessible service, which may be registered in a network-accessible registry such as a UDDI registry. Enterprises may subscribe to this service for monitoring and analyzing statistics pertaining to one or more of the enterprise's applications, thereby providing a novel method of doing business for the provider of the heuristics service.
