ABSTRACT:
There are disclosed methods and apparatus for displaying telephone numbers. Before displaying data units, the data units are scanned for telephone numbers. The telephone numbers are automatically identified within the data units. When the telephone numbers are displayed as part of displays of the data units, the telephone numbers are caused to have a display attribute which renders the telephone numbers conspicuous to a user.
