Method and apparatus for managing blind-carbon-copy account replies in e-mail communications

摘要

A apparatus and method for managing blind-carbon-copy replies in e-mail communications includes an electronic computing device configured to detect 602 that an e-mail account that is a blind-carbon-copy recipient of a received e-mail of an e-mail thread is sending a reply e-mail to at least one participant of a set of participants of the e-mail thread. The electronic computing device is also configured to determine 604, from the set of participants of the e-mail thread, an e-mail account adder that added the e-mail account to the e-mail thread as the blind-carbon-copy recipient. The electronic computing device is further configured to add 610 text to the reply e-mail indicating the e-mail account adder forwarded the received e-mail to the e-mail account or to send 614 an auto-generated e-mail notification to the at least one participant of the e-mail thread indicating the e-mail account adder added the e-mail account to the e-mail thread as a participant.
