ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY APPLYING MESSAGE ACTIONS

摘要

An electronic device and method are provided for automatically identifying a message in a message thread to which a selected single-message action is to be applied, without requiring display of individual messages in a separate listing. Each single-message action is associated with one or more message attributes. When a single-message action is selected, a message in the thread having matching attributes is selected. While the selected message may be the most recent message in the thread having those attributes, but may not be the most recently received or most recently sent message in the thread.
