Abstract

A computer-implemented method for managing messages. Responsive to receiving a message at a data processing system, wherein the message comprises only a number of message identifiers and metadata identifying the message as pointing to a number of messages in a message history stored in the data processing system, the number of messages in the message history on the data processing system is identified to form an identified number of messages. A presence of the identified number of messages in the message history is displayed on a display in the data processing system.
