Abstract

A restrictive presentation system can receive an electronic message configured for offline consumption expressed as user-specified delivery conditions. The electronic message can be securely conveyed to a computing device in an online state using a communications network. A client application of the restrictive presentation system can be installed upon the computing device and can receive the electronic message. The client application can detect a change of the computing device from the online state to the offline state. In response to user-acceptance, the electronic message can be presented upon the computing device while in the offline state. Upon user-termination of the presentation, the electronic message can be automatically deleted from a storage location of the computing device. When the computing device returns to the online state, the client application can notify the restrictive presentation system of the offline consumption.
