主权项 1. A method for managing an electronic mail in a communication network, said method comprising: during a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) session, conducted in a computer system, in which commands are initiated by a SMTP client and responses are from a SMTP server through which the SMTP session is opened: partitioning, by a processor of the computer system, a SMTP command list of a communication SMTP electronic mail transmission protocol associated with the electronic mail into a plurality of command sub-lists using a plurality of recursive parameters appearing in the SMTP command list prior to said partitioning, wherein each recursive parameter is a formal standard SMTP command that is repeated in respective command sub-lists as a result of said partitioning, wherein the plurality of recursive parameters comprises a DATA parameters appearing in two different command sub-lists of the plurality of command sub-lists, wherein the DATA parameter appearing in the two different command sub-lists specify respective information of the electronic mail, wherein the respective information of the electronic mail are viewable simultaneously, wherein all command sub-lists of the plurality of command sub-lists are viewable simultaneously in a user interface of the computer system, wherein each command sub-list in the user interface comprises at least one command pertaining to a receiver or sender of the electronic mail, and wherein each command sub-list in the user interface is individually selectable, via the user interface, for subsequent use of the at least one command in a subsequently selected command sub-list in implementing the electronic mail; andsaid processor receiving a selection, via the user interface, of at least one of the command sub-lists viewable in the user interface subject to the at least one command in each selected command sub-list being viewable in the user interface prior to said selecting, wherein each command of the at least one command specifies a respective aspect of how to implement the electronic mail in a subsequent implementation of the electronic mail; andsaid processor receiving a selection, via the user interface, of at least one property corresponding to each selected command sub-list, for subsequent use in implementing the electronic mail, wherein the electronic mail is from a current sender to a receiver, wherein the plurality of command sub-lists comprise a plurality of message sub-lists which include messages from the current sender to the receiver via the electronic mail, wherein the plurality of message sub-lists comprises a first preceding message sub-list and a second preceding message sub-list, wherein the first preceding message sub-list comprises a first preceding message from a first preceding sender to the current sender, wherein the second preceding message sub-list comprises a second preceding message from a second preceding sender to the first preceding sender, and wherein the first preceding message and the second preceding message are included in the messages from the current sender to the receiver via the electronic mail.
