Abstract
A method of managing the entry of individuals or email groups into their intended recipient field within a sender's email is disclosed. A predefined, static association between an intended recipient or email group and a To, CC, or BCC recipient field may be created by a sender. A new email message graphical user interface having General, To, CC, and BCC fields contained within the header is provided. When an individual or group is entered into the General recipient field it is automatically delegated to the To, CC, or BCC field with which it is associated. Provisions for ensuring that recipients with multiple field associations do not exist, that recipients with a predefined association are not entered into an incorrect field, for creating a predefined association with two recipient fields, and for creating a predefined association when none exists are also provided.
