Abstract
A method is described for providing information regarding a piece of electronic mail (e-mail). The method includes processing a data set containing transmission data associated with the e-mail so as to determine one or more steps in a propagation history of the e-mail. The transmission data typically include identifiers of a sender of the e-mail and of one or more recipients of at least a portion of the e-mail. The method also includes displaying the propagation history. Preferably, processing the data set includes analyzing transmission information embedded in text of the e-mail.
