FIELD: information technology. ^ SUBSTANCE: delivery report recipient is notified whether that report is a partial report for which updates will be received or a complete report for which no updates will be received, by improving the delivery report so that it contains indication whether the report is complete or partial. The sender can use delivery report information to decide, for example, whether to delete the message identifier used to associate the report with the message as unwanted information from the storage device or store the message identifier in order to be able to associate next reports with the message. ^ EFFECT: improving a message delivery report so that it contains indication whether the report is complete or partial, which provides a mechanism through which the recipient of the report, ie message sender, can be informed whether more reports, such as updated reports associated with the message, can be received. ^ 22 cl, 7 dwg |
