Message processing device, message management method and storage medium for storing message management program

Abstract

A method and system of providing a receiver state list with names of receivers of a message, the title of the message, confirmation information indicating whether or not receivers of the message confirmed content of the message, completion information indicating whether or not the business related to the message is completed, and comments which the receivers prepared for the message. From the receiver state list, a sender and all receivers of the message can obtain or display the states of all the receivers and may confirm whether or not each receiver confirmed the content of the message or whether or not business related to the message is completed.

No. 09 / 189,410, filed Nov. 10, 1998 and claims the benefit of Japanese Application No. 10 / 115,651 dated Apr. 24, 1998. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention is related to a message processing device, a message processing system, and a message management method, for processing a message transmitted from a terminal, and a storage medium in which a message management program is stored. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Recently, the following technology has been easily realized. That is, an electronic mail can be transmitted to an individual receiver by a mail system such as a personal-computer communications system, a UNIX system or the like, and the same mail can be transmitted to a plurality of receivers.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This solution allows leaders to efficiently monitor message confirmation and completion status across multiple recipients, reducing the complexity of tracking progress and improving message management by displaying linked message and receiver states, enabling simultaneous tracking of message contents and recipient states.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the process of transmitting and receiving mails between members becomes complicated.

In a conventional electronic mail system, however, the sender can determine whether or not the receiver opened the mail but cannot determine whether or not the receiver actually confirms the contents of the mail.

Therefore, a sender cannot determine whether or not a receiver actually confirms the contents of a mail.

However, a process of displaying the list of mails including a formatted message about business and that of a mail including a non-formatted message to an individual receiver, on a same display, thereby managing the mails, has not yet been performed.
