Abstract
A method for handling time-dependent messages in a communication system includes receiving a time-dependent message from an originator. The time-dependent message includes a predetermined time-limit and a plurality of alternate actions for the time-dependent message. Each of the plurality of alternate actions is correlated with its associated time of release, wherein each time of release is originator specified. The method also includes sending the initial time-dependent message to a recipient based on said time code and receiving an acknowledgment to the time-dependent message from the recipient.
