Abstract
A system and method for transmitting an electronic mail message to one or more intended recipients, which allows the user to designate that an electronic mail message contains a request for information which requires a reply from the one or more intended recipients, monitors electronic mail messages incoming to the sender to detect whether a reply has been received within the response period, and upon receiving a reply from any of the one or more intended recipients, presents the reply to the sender with one or more user-selectable icons which allow the sender to accept the reply as sufficient or request more information from the one or more intended recipients in response to selection of a user-selectable icon.
