Abstract:
A method, system and computer program product for ensuring that all users of a group message receive a response to the group message. The content of a detected group message is analyzed to determine if the group message requires a response and, if so, to assess the urgency of the response. If the analyzed group message requires a response, then a determination is made as to whether a response was received by all or a subset of the users of the group message (sender and recipients of the group message) within a threshold amount of time based on the urgency of the response. If the response was only received by a subset of the users of the group message, then the response is broadcasted to the other users of the group message who had not previously received the response if no confidential information is detected in the response.
