ABSTRACT:
A voice mail system that provides a message scan mode that plays back only brief portions of each message, i.e., message snippets, saved in the voice mailbox queue. If the user takes no action while the message snippet is being played back, or within a short grace period after that, the system automatically skips to the next message in the queue and plays a snippet of that message without requiring any interaction on the part of the user. The user has the option of making a selection that causes the entire message to be played.
