Abstract
The invention includes a system that selectively or automatically creates email packages by parsing emails into email elements such as attachments, email reply bodies, storing them in the system's database and then grouping the elements from different selected emails to form email packages. Emails that satisfy user-defined keywords and criteria are also included in packages and their summary is displayed for a quick retrieval. An example is creating email workgroups, each containing emails that pertain to a set of activities or a specific project, and visually presenting them to users. By storing the links between an email and its elements, the invention facilitates the gathering of statistical information pertaining to different email interactions and action states, attachment-sharing across multiple users, assigning versions to the modified iterations, and cross-referencing them to the originating emails. The links further facilitate identification of email propagation relationships as emails proliferate across multiple users.
