Claim Text:
1. A computer implemented method for analyzing electronic messages, the method comprising: receiving a new received message from an indicated sender; the new received message having at least one first message characteristic of the indicated sender and at least one second message characteristic; identifying, with a processor, at least one actual sender message characteristic pattern of an actual sender using the at least one first message characteristic; wherein the at least one actual sender message characteristic pattern comprises at least one message characteristic label; wherein the at least one message characteristic label comprises a negative actual sender message characteristic label whereby the negative actual sender message characteristic label represents a message characteristic pattern of another sender not the actual sender; wherein the at least one message characteristic label further comprises a positive actual sender message characteristic label whereby a positive comparison of the at least one second message characteristic to the positive actual sender message characteristic label increases the probability that the indicated sender is the actual sender; probabilistically comparing, with the processor, the at least one second message characteristic to the at least one message characteristic label; determining, with the processor, a degree of similarity of the at least one second message characteristic to the at least one actual sender message characteristic pattern; and influencing, with the processor, a probability that the indicated sender is the actual sender based upon the degree of similarity.
