Abstract:
Sending E-Mail including the conventional implementation enabling the sender of an electronic mail document to specify users to receive the document; but, in addition, the process invites the sender creating the E-Mail to prompt the sender with more potential recipients as the sender, proceeds with the creation of the E-Mail message. An address book is maintained including the E-Mail addresses of a set of names of selected recipients who regularly receive E-Mail from the sender. Then, there is monitoring the text being entered for words with initial capital letters combined with an implementation responsive to the monitoring for determining if a located word with an initial capital corresponds to a name in said address book. The corresponding name to the designated recipients of the E-Mail message provided the sender interactively agrees to do so. Optionally, the system may be set up so the monitoring is for two consecutive words with initial capitals corresponding to the first and last name of a recipient in said address book.
