Dynamic message content filter

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a computer readable memory in circuit communication with the processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium in circuit communication with the processor;
• wherein the processor executes program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium via the computer readable memory and thereby:
• in response to receipt of an electronic message, determines a reception device limit value that is applicable to a device currently used by the recipient to receive the electronic message as a function of an attribute of the device;
• determines an activity limit value as a function of an activity context of the recipient;
• determines a cognitive state message limit value as a function of a cognitive state of the recipient;
• sets a threshold maximum content value as a function of the reception device limit value, the activity limit value and the cognitive state message limit value;
• and
• in response to determining that the total amount of the message text content exceeds the threshold maximum content value, notifies a sender of the message that the threshold maximum content value currently applies to messages sent to the recipient.

A computer program product for determining message text content amount limits as a function of recipient context, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising instructions for execution by a processor that cause the processor to:
• in response to receipt of an electronic message, determine whether a physical proximity distance of a recipient of the electronic message to another, identified person is within a minimum specified threshold distance;
• in response to determining that the physical proximity distance to the identified person is within the minimum specified threshold distance, compare a total amount of text content of the message to a threshold maximum content value;
• and
• in response to determining that the total amount of the message text content exceeds the threshold maximum content value, notify a sender of the message that the threshold maximum content value currently applies to messages sent to the recipient.
