Publication number: 20090138556Abstract: A system and method for implementing quick response replies on a data processing system. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a user drafts a current message within a current window of an instant messaging (IM) client, wherein the current message is targeted to a current user. In response to receiving a new message when the current message is partially drafted, the user drafts a new reply message to respond to the new message while preserving the partially-drafted message. The IM client sends the new reply message to respond to the new message. The user completes the partially-drafted current message and the IM client sends the completed current message to the current user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2007Publication date: May 28, 2009Inventors: Kevin M.
