Claim:
A method for distributing a communication based on reaction response, comprising: delivering, using at least one messaging server that provides electronic communication service over a network to at least one particular recipient, a plurality of electronic messages from a plurality of separate senders to said at least one particular recipient; receiving, at said at least one messaging server, at least one actual response specified by said at least one particular recipient to at least one separate type of content for each of said plurality of electronic messages by detecting a separate graphical display attribute selected by said at least one particular recipient to associate with each said at least one separate type of content within a display of each of said plurality of electronic messages, wherein each said separate graphical attribute represents at least one separate type of response from among a plurality of types of responses; storing, in a database, by said at least one messaging server, said at least one actual response to said at least one separate type of content specified by said at least one particular recipient through each said separate graphical display attribute; selecting, by said at least one messaging server, a particular communication output interface from among a plurality of separate output interfaces each specified by at least one of said plurality of senders for receiving communications identified with said at least one separate type of response from among said plurality of types of responses, wherein said particular communication output interface is specified by said at least one of said plurality of senders for receipt of communications with said separate type of response of said at least one actual response; enabling said at least one messaging server to detect a proposed communication request from said at least one of said plurality of senders to said at least one particular recipient; and returning, by said at least one messaging server, to said at least one sender, anticipated responses of said at least one particular recipient to said proposed communication request determined from a selection of said stored actual responses associated with at least one of said separate type of content appearing in said proposed communication request to said particular communication output interface specified for said separate type of response of said at least one actual response.
