US Patent 11190478 Enhanced user interfaces and associated processes in email communication

Methods and systems are disclosed for user interfaces and associated processes in email communication. Incoming email messages that identify a sender and message recipients are rendered with Reply, Reply-All, and Forward command icons that can be activated by a user to create an outgoing email message. When a user so activates one of the command icons, the methods and systems create and render the outgoing email message to include a Send icon that indicates the command activated to create the outgoing email message (e.g., the Send icon alerts the user that the outgoing email message was created responsive to a Reply-All command). The Send icon may also inform the user of input required to activate the Send command (e.g., double click) based on the command that initiated creation of the outgoing email message.
