1. A method of automatic summarization of content in electronic messages, the method comprising:
upon receiving, at a server, an incoming electronic message having a message body with one or more sentences,
classifying the one or more sentences in the message body individually as a statement of decision, judgement, inference, or fact;
clustering the classified statements into one or more clusters according to a hierarchy of decision, judgement, inference, and fact;
selecting one or more of the clusters to automatically generate summaries of the incoming electronic message corresponding to each of the selected clusters; and
inserting data representing at least one of the generated summaries into the incoming electronic message before transmitting the incoming electronic message to a destination via a computer network.
