The present invention provides a computer implemented method for communicating a signature in a received email. Initially, a server receives a source email from a source client, the source email comprising a signature index entry, and a body. The server determines for a first recipient that a first associated destination client is capable of rendering a signature of the signature index entry in response to a selection of an indexed signature. The server, responsive to a determination that the destination client is capable of rendering the signature index entry, forwards the source email to the first recipient as a delivered email using the body of the source email such that an indexed signature is present in the body of the delivered email. In addition, a method for generating a signature header is shown that provides a many to one correspondence between indexed signatures and a signature index entry.

Composing, forwarding, and rendering email system

A computer-implemented method for managing messages. Responsive to receiving a message at a data processing system, wherein the message comprises only a number of message identifiers and metadata identifying the message as pointing to a number of messages in a message history stored in the data processing system, the number of messages in the message history on the data processing system is identified to form an identified number of messages. A presence of the identified number of messages in the message history is displayed on a display in the data processing system.

The present invention provides a mobile station implemented method for managing a requested name and phone record. The method comprises steps of the requester associated device receiving a user's identification from a mobile station phonebook owner and a search term. The requester associated device transmits the user identification of the mobile station phonebook owner and the search term. Receiving at least one matching name and phone record, the requester associated device presents the at least one matching name and phone record to a user. The requester associated device receives a user management command to perform an action on the name and phone record. The method may complete when the requester associated device performs the action on the name and phone record.

The present invention provides a computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product to protect a first user from authorization limitation by a second user. The computer may receive an authorization command from the second user, wherein the authorization command targets the first user, and the second user is at least partially authorized to operate the authorization command. The computer determines that the first user is an ancestor user of the second user. In addition, the computer, responsive to a determination that the first user is an ancestor user of the second user, prevents operation of code of the authorization command to change an authorization of the first user.
