Abstract
A user terminal connected to a communication network executes a communication client. The user terminal displays a list of contacts associated with a user of the client, and retrieves a message from the communication network, wherein the message is related to a further user represented by one of the contacts displayed in the list of contacts. The message includes a reference to media accessible by the communication network. The reference may be extracted from the message. A visual representation of the media may be displayed in association with one of the contacts, such that, responsive to the user actuating the visual representation, the client establishes communication with storage means using the reference and displays the media to the user.
