SORTING ELECTRONIC MAIL

摘要

Emails are received and parsed for a set of dates. A set of words surrounding the set of dates are identified and contextual information is correlated with the set of dates based on the set of words. It is then determined whether the dates are promotional expiration dates based on the contextual information. The emails that have promotional dates are placed in a list having a chronological order that is based on the promotional expiration dates. The current calendar date is checked and emails are excluded from the list in response to the current calendar date being chronologically after the promotional expiration date. The list is then displayed based on the exclusion of the email.
