Abstract
Recommendations, such as recipients and attachments, are determined from content that is associated with a message item. A user may enter one or more: recipients; attachments; and message content for the message that may be used in determining recommendations. Keywords may also be identified by analyzing the content of the message to determine recommended content/recipients. Behavior patterns may also be used to determine recommendations. The recommended users/content of a message may be obtained from a messaging program, a local data store, a network data store, a cloud service, and the like. The recommended items (e.g. users/content) determined from analyzing the content are displayed such that they may be used by the user when editing the message item. The recommended items may be ranked by relevancy using metrics such as keywords, people, time last viewed and use patterns.
