Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a computer system, email or message data; using, by the computer system, latent semantic analysis to divide the email or message data into first and second categories, the first category corresponding to legitimate messages, and the second category corresponding to undesired data, wherein email or message data in the first category is fully rendered, and wherein email or message data in the second category is partially rendered; parsing, by the computer system, the email or message data in the second category, wherein parsing includes searching the email or message data for a link that includes a reference to a resource located at a remote location and determining whether the email or message data includes the link, wherein the link includes one or more parameters capable of encoding the identity of a recipient; presenting, by the computer system, the parsed email or message data to a recipient without presenting the resource referenced by the link, wherein the identity of the recipient is not revealed to the sender, and wherein the presentation includes an indication that the email or message data includes the link or references the resource, and one or more options specifying one or more actions corresponding to the link; and receiving, by the computer system, a selection corresponding to an option and performing one or more actions associated with the option when the parsed email or message data includes the link.
