Abstract
A method for local archiving of e-mail messages in an e-mail client application according to various exemplary embodiments can include generating a mail thread including at least two e-mail messages transmitted and received between a message originator and at least one recipient; appending e-mail identification data into a header of the at least two e-mail messages when transmitted. The method may also include archiving related e-mail messages within the mail thread in an e-mail client application, comprising: searching for the related e-mail messages by identifying each e-mail message having a same message originator field; and merging non-redundant segments of each e-mail message into a single message document hierarchically by response level and timestamp. The method may further include displaying, on a display screen, the single message document according to a conversational view based upon a perspective of the response level of a user within the mail thread.
