Abstract:
1. A message notice reply system, with a message reply mechanism incorporated into a sender end and a recipient end for adding a message reply control entry to transmit a message between the sender end and the recipient end, comprising: a mail server providing a mail transfer agent for establishing a mail service over a network; a sender's personal computer at the sender end having a first mail user agent defining a sender's mail sending area and a sender's mail receiving area when interfacing with human operators at the sender end, wherein when the message is sent via the mail transfer agent, the first mail user agent adds one or more wait-to-reply fields that are displayed at first predetermined positions of an interface of the first mail user agent, and the wait-to-reply fields include a reply time, a respondent, a subject, and a reply manner; and a recipient's personal computer at the recipient end having a second mail user agent defining a recipient's mail receiving area and a recipient's reply area when interfacing with the human operators at the recipient end, wherein when the message is received via the mail transfer user agent, the recipient's reply area adds a reply reminder field that is displayed at a second predetermined position of an interface of the second mail user agent, wherein the reply reminder fields include a reply time, a respondent, a subject and a reply manner; thereby, after the recipient end replies with a reply message via the second mail user agent, information associated with the reply message is recorded in the corresponding reply reminder fields; and after the sender end receives the reply message, the information associated with the reply message is recorded in the corresponding wait-to-reply fields.
