Systems and methods of redactive messaging

Abstract

The technology disclosed relates to embedding private comments in public messages. In particular, it relates to customizing public messages by including private comments that are directed to specific recipients. The private comments are included in the context of the public messages sent to their intended recipients but excluded from the public message when it is sent to other recipients. The private comments can be viewable only to their intended recipients and in the context of the public response. The public response as seen by recipients not intended to receive private comments does not include the private comments. This enables a sender of a private comment to efficiently communicate selected information to specific recipients without burdening all recipients with information which may not be relevant for them. Furthermore, it preserves the overall context of the original message.
