Abstract

A method and system for optimizing transmission of electronic messages. In one embodiment, the method includes maintaining a database to store electronic messages received from various clients. The method further includes receiving a new electronic message from a client, determining whether the new electronic message is associated with one or more messages stored in the database. If the new electronic message is not associated with any messages stored in the database, the new electronic message is sent to the recipients. If the new electronic message is associated with some messages stored in the database, the new electronic message is sent to the recipients, and in addition, the associated messages that are not stored locally at a particular recipient are sent to this recipient.
