generate a relationship history based on at least a portion of the plurality of profiles, the relationship history comprising information regarding a history of prior communications between the user and the first person;

receive, via the user terminal, an input in an address field of a user interface of a communications client, the input made to compose a new message to the first person; and

in response to receiving the input in the address field, automatically generate and insert, by the user terminal, text in a body of the new message, the text customized using the first profile, and the text including information regarding the history of prior communications between the user and the first person.

11. The storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the relationship history comprises a name of a person first introducing the first person and the user.

13. A system, comprising:

a display device;

a communications client to receive an edit from a user in a user interface presented to the user via the display device;

at least one processor; and

memory storing instructions configured to instruct the at least one processor to:

scan a set of messages to or from the user to generate a plurality of profiles for persons associated with the messages, each person being a sender or a recipient of at least one of the set of messages, and the persons including a first person having a first profile;

generate a relationship history using the plurality of profiles, wherein the relationship history is for a relationship between the user and the first person, the relationship history comprising information regarding a history of prior communications between the user and the first person;

receive an input in an address field of the user interface of the communications client, the input made to compose a new message to the first person;

in response to receiving the input in the address field, automatically insert text into a body of the new message, the text customized using the first profile, and the text comprising information regarding the history of prior communications between the user and the first person; and

after inserting the text, edit the inserted text based on the edit from the user in the user interface.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the relationship history comprises a name of a person first introducing the first person and the user.
