Claim One:
1. An apparatus to selectively review portions of automatically filtered e-mail, the apparatus comprising: a risk assessment module that assigns a risk value on a risk value scale to content of each section of an incoming e-mail message, the sections of the incoming e-mail message comprising at least an attachment section and a non-attachment section; a risk management module that compares the risk value of each section of the email to the risk value scale and presents one or more sections of the incoming e-mail message to a reviewer such that content of a section of the incoming e-mail message is blocked in response to the risk value of the content of a section exceeding a threshold on the risk value scale; and a review interface that selectively discloses to the reviewer, in response to user input, the blocked content of the one or more sections of the incoming e-mail message, the user input comprising movement of a Graphical User Interface (“GUI”) slider having graduated levels between a first level that reveals no sections of the incoming e-mail message and a second level that reveals all sections of the incoming e-mail message, each graduated level associated with a risk value threshold, the review interface dynamically updating the blocked content that is disclosed to the reviewer in response to movement of the GUI slider, the review interface dynamically presenting previously blocked content of the one or more sections to the reviewer in response to movement of the GUI slider toward the second level and dynamically blocking content of the one or more sections in response to movement of the GUI slider toward the first level.
