Abstract

A communications device for managing composition of electronic messages using temporary suspensions is disclosed. The communications device includes a network interface, a memory, and a processor in communication with the network interface and the memory. The processor is configured to receive a request to suspend composition of a first electronic message in an input field associated with an electronic message exchange between two or more participants, store in the memory the first electronic message, and clear the input field for composition of a second electronic message. Responsive to a trigger indicating resumption of composition of the first electronic message, the processor is further configured to insert the first electronic message in the input field, thereby enabling completion of the composition of the first electronic message, and to add the first electronic message to a thread of the electronic message exchange. The first electronic message is displayed in the thread of the electronic message exchange chronologically after the second electronic message.
