Prioritizing text (7) such as e-mail messages, given constrained resources (8, 9, 10), is disclosed. In one aspect, a method (5, 36) first receives a plurality of messages (37), such as e-mail messages. The method (5, 36) prioritizes the messages (37), based on a predetermined criteria (38) given a constrained resource (38). The method then outputs the messages (39) to a user, as pioritized (39) given the constrained resource (38). Specific constrained resources (38) include limited bandwidth, limited storage space, and limited time in which to receive the texts. Other aspects of the invention include policies (41, 42, 43) that include priority-sensitive truncation and summarization. |
