Abstract
A first method includes, at a server, receiving a new message in a message thread, identifying quoted text (e.g., text from a previous message in the message thread) in the new message, replacing the quoted text with a token that includes information uniquely associated with the previous message to produce a modified incoming message, and sending the modified incoming message to a client. Optionally, the token includes information identifying the previous message in the message thread. Optionally, the token identifies a range of text in the previous message, and the text replaced by the token corresponds to the range of text in the previous message identified by the token. Optionally, the token comprises a tag having text to be displayed by the client. In some embodiments, the method includes sending to the client all messages in the message thread, including the modified incoming message.
