1. A computationally-implemented method, comprising: acquiring, by a network device, data indicative of an inferred mental state of an authoring user, wherein said acquiring data indicative of an inferred mental state of an authoring user comprises: determining the data indicative of the inferred mental state of the authoring user, wherein said determining the data indicative of the inferred mental state of the authoring user comprises: determining a result of an observation of one or more physical characteristics of the authoring user, the observation of the one or more physical characteristics of the authoring user being performed during or proximate to a composition by the authoring user of an electronic message, wherein said determining a result of an observation of one or more physical characteristics of the authoring user, the observation of the one or more physical characteristics of the authoring user being performed during or proximate to a composition by the authoring user of an electronic message comprises: sensing the one or more physical characteristics of the authoring user in a response associated with a functional near infrared procedure on the authoring user; and associating the data indicative of the inferred mental state of the authoring user with the electronic message, wherein said associating the data indicative of the inferred mental state of the authoring user with an electronic message includes at least: associating the data indicative of the inferred mental state of the authoring user with an electronic message, the data indicative of the inferred mental state of the authoring user being raw sensor provided data indicating brain characteristics of the authoring user.
