Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and system for managing reply-to fields of reply emails. Responsive to creating a reply email, the recipients are displayed in a format that specifies their recipient category. Typical recipient categories include reply recipients (reply), carbon copy recipients (CC), blind carbon copy recipients (BCC), and / or file carbon copy recipients (FCC). The recipient category of each email address can be selected by input from the user (such as a mouse click) without cutting and pasting the email address. Updates the recipient category display in response to detecting a user selection, and provides an optional control to assign the remaining unassigned recipients to a recipient status.
