               Appeal No. 2006-2890                                                                                               
               Application No. 09/842,747                                                                                         

               been identified by the examiner according to the teachings in the Summary of the                                   
               Invention, particularly those at the middle of column 3.  Figure 7A shows the                                      
               ability of the user to separately retrieve a message body from an already received                                 
               message header to the extent the message body has not already been stored within                                   
               the wireless device itself.  The feature of providing the message to a user is only                                
               recited in independent claims 1 and 19 on appeal which is clearly taught as element                                
               714 in figure 7A of Stein.  Moreover, Stein as system appears to work with and                                     
               without a network availability to the extent recited in the independent claims on                                  
               appeal.                                                                                                            
                      Lastly, we note in passing that the artisan may well consider the teachings                                 
               and showings in Stein as being substantially anticipatory of the subject matter of                                 
               the independent claims on appeal since this reference appears to have the capability                               
               of automatically receiving at a wireless device by a pushing operation of a server                                 
               an updated mailbox content list over a wireless network, permitting the user to                                    
               scroll through and select a message, the ability to selectively retrieve the body of                               
               the message from the server when needed by means of a communication link with                                      
               this server and to optionally “provide” a message to the user by means of a display                                
               within the wireless device.                                                                                        
                                                                8
