Abstract
A method, a system and a computer program product for managing an electronic mail in a communication network is disclosed. A plurality of recursive parameters in a command list of a communication protocol associated with the electronic mail is provided. At least one of the recursive parameters is a DATA parameter specifying information of the electronic mail. The command list is partitioned into a plurality of command sub-lists using the plurality of recursive parameters. At least one property corresponding to each of the command sub-lists is preserved. An interface for selecting each of the command sub-lists is provided and at least one of the command sub-lists is selected. At least one property corresponding to each of the command sub-lists is identified.
Claims16
A method for managing an electronic mail in a communication network, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of recursive parameters in a command list of a communication protocol associated with the electronic mail, wherein at least one of the recursive parameters is a DATA parameter specifying information of the electronic mail;
- partitioning, by a processor of a computer system, the command list into a plurality of command sub-lists using the plurality of recursive parameters;
- preserving at least one property corresponding to each of the command sub-list, wherein the at least one property corresponding to each of the command sub-lists is selected from the group consisting of a cipher, an encryption key, a digital signature, a return receipt, a priority, a confidentiality, a mood stamp, and combinations thereof;
- providing a graphical user interface for selecting each of the command sub-lists;
- receiving a selection of at least one of the command sub-lists via the graphical user interface;
- and
- identifying the at least one property corresponding to each of the selected command sub-lists.
A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device having computer readable program code stored therein, said program code containing instructions configured to be executed by a processor of a computer system to implement a method for managing an electronic mail in a communication network, the method comprising:
- said processor providing a plurality of recursive parameters in a command list of a communication protocol associated with the electronic mail, wherein at least one of the recursive parameters is a DATA parameter specifying information of the electronic mail;
- said processor partitioning the command list into a plurality of command sub-lists using the plurality of recursive parameters;
- said processor preserving at least one property corresponding to each of the command sub-list, wherein the at least one property corresponding to each of the command sub-lists is selected from the group consisting of a cipher, an encryption key, a digital signature, a return receipt, a priority, a confidentiality, a mood stamp, and combinations thereof;
- said processor providing a graphical user interface for selecting each of the command sub-lists;
- said processor receiving a selection of at least one of the command sub-lists via the graphical user interface;
- and
- said processor identifying the at least one property corresponding to each of the selected command sub-lists.
A computer 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 configured to be executed by the processor via the memory to implement a method for managing an electronic mail in a communication network, the method comprising:
- said processor providing a plurality of recursive parameters in a command list of a communication protocol associated with the electronic mail, wherein at least one of the recursive parameters is a DATA parameter specifying information of the electronic mail;
- said processor partitioning the command list into a plurality of command sub-lists using the plurality of recursive parameters;
- said processor preserving at least one property corresponding to each of the command sub-list, wherein the at least one property corresponding to each of the command sub-lists is selected from the group consisting of a cipher, an encryption key, a digital signature, a return receipt, a priority, a confidentiality, a mood stamp, and combinations thereof;
- said processor providing a graphical user interface for selecting each of the command sub-lists;
- said processor receiving a selection of at least one of the command sub-lists via the graphical user interface;
- and
- said processor identifying the at least one property corresponding to each of the selected command sub-lists.
