Claim Text:
1. A processor-implemented method of mimetic message settings selection on a messaging client, comprising the steps of: detecting, with a processor, an outgoing message; determining, with the processor, whether the outgoing message is related to a previously received message as one of a reply message or a forward message of the previously received message by identifying at least a portion of message content in common or comprising a message thread between the outgoing message and the previously received message, the received message having message characteristics including at least one of a received message signing or a received message encryption; determining, with the processor, messaging settings associated with the message characteristics of the received message that include a first messaging setting associated with reply messages and a second messaging setting associated with forward messages, the second messaging setting different than the first messaging setting, the first messaging setting defining at least one of a first message signing or a first message encryption, and the second messaging setting defining at least one of a second message signing or a second message encryption; and selecting, with the processor, the first messaging setting associated with the message characteristics of the received message to control message characteristics of the outgoing message if the outgoing message is the reply message of the previously received message; or selecting, with the processor, the second messaging setting associated with the message characteristics of the received message to control message characteristics of the outgoing message if the outgoing message is the forward message of the previously received message.
