Incoming messages, like incoming wounded on the battlefield, can be initially sorted into groups e.g. a) those which can be or should be treated immediately, b) those which can be treated later, and c) those which should not be treated. Like in a triage unit on a battlefield, it is useful to reduce the amount of effort and increase the speed at which this sort takes place. The present invention allows the user's effort to sort to be reduced to a minimum, with a consequent increase in speed. |
