Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for summarizing a text message, such as an email message or a transcribed audio message. A portion of each text message, such as a sentence, is extracted as an indicative summary of the text message based on a degree of overlap of words in the sentence with a set of words, such as words in the message subject or words in a related root message. The extracted portion is based on a score for each portion of the text message, such as a sentence. An interface is also provided for presenting the indicative summaries of a set of related text messages to a user.
