Abstract
A server has a processor and a memory storing a message thread module with instructions executed by the processor to maintain a message thread between users of client devices. Message thread state changes are queued at the server. The message thread is revised based upon the message thread state changes to form shared message thread state. The shared message thread state is stored. The shared message thread state is supplied in response to a request for the message thread from a user.
