Abstract: Systems, devices and/or methods that facilitate automatic data wedge configuration profile switching are presented. An automatic data wedge configuration profile switching system can improve productivity and reduce errors associated with manually switching data wedge configuration profiles. The automatic data wedge configuration profile switching system can automatically switch profiles based in part on indications related to foreground applications. This indication can be related to changing from a first foreground application to a second foreground application, can be related to changing from a first information input scheme to a second information input scheme within a foreground application, can be related to messages sent from foreground applications, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: Email content, email lottery ticket and methods that emulate a scratch ticket effect using DHTML programming code. As DHTML execution code is permitted in HTML enabled email software without fearing the introduction of malicious virus code, the method can advantageously be applied for sending emails containing scratch tickets enabling email recipients to win prizes. The method proposed emulates efficiently the necessary interactive image manipulation in DHTML code to provide a scratch ticket effect. The resulting email message is extremely compact in size and is well suited for mass emailing of very large quantities of scratch tickets. Additionally, the ticket may have multiple layers such as virtual latex layer (200) and secret layers (100). A selected number of such secret layers may reveal symbol sets (102) that correspond to prizes that may be claimed by the email recipient.
