Content rights management for email and documents contents and systems, structures, and methods therefor

摘要

An email comprises a body having at least one related and previously sent email, where each previously sent email is represented in the body of the email as a body object. Each of the email and each body object therein is rights-managed as protected content, whereby a recipient of the email can render the protected content of each of the email and each body object therein with a corresponding license if the recipient satisfies terms set forth in the license.
