Enhanced privacy and control features for an electronic message

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device having program code stored therein, said computer readable program code containing instructions configured to be executed by a processor of a computer system to implement a method for sending electronic messages, said method comprising:

• said processor embedding a command syntax in an electronic message on a sender device, wherein the electronic message is to be sent by a sender from the sender device to a user at a recipient device, wherein the electronic message comprises a data structure consisting of the data or pointing to the data, wherein the embedded command syntax is coupled to the data structure in the electronic message, wherein the command syntax comprises a text string disposed between a first tag and a second tag, wherein the text string is coded to only describe and trigger one or more pre-defined selective enhanced privacy and control features for one or more portions of the data, wherein the command syntax includes one or more commands which upon being executed at the recipient device prevent the user at the recipient device who receives the electronic message from printing the received electronic message, storing the received electronic message, copying the received electronic message, forwarding the received electronic message, and blind carbon copying the received electronic message;
• and
• said processor transmitting, to the one or more intended user at the recipient device, the electronic message that comprises the command syntax coupled to the data structure.

A system comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a computer readable storage device coupled to the processor, said storage device containing program code which, upon being executed by the processor, implements a method for sending electronic messages, said method comprising:

• said processor embedding a command syntax in an electronic message on a sender device, wherein the electronic message is to be sent by a sender from the sender device to a user at a recipient device, wherein the electronic message comprises a data structure consisting of the data or pointing to the data, wherein the embedded command syntax is coupled to the data structure in the electronic message, wherein the command syntax comprises a text string disposed between a first tag and a second tag, wherein the text string is coded to only describe and trigger one or more pre-defined selective enhanced privacy and control features for one or more portions of the data, wherein the command syntax includes one or more commands which upon being executed at the recipient device prevent the user at the recipient device who receives the electronic message from printing the received electronic message, storing the received electronic message, copying the received electronic message, forwarding the received electronic message, and blind carbon copying the received electronic message electronic message, and blind carbon copying the received electronic message;
• and
• said processor transmitting, to the one or more intended user at the recipient device, the electronic message that comprises the command syntax coupled to the data structure.
