Messages augmented with structured entities

A computer system comprising:

• memory;
• one or more processors;
• a display;
• and
• a component stored in the memory, that when executed with the one or more processors, performs acts comprising:
• receiving a first message that is sent using a communication protocol;
• sending indicia of the first message to a server;
• requesting that the server make a determination, based on the indicia, whether the server has a second message that corresponds to the first message, with the requested determination to be made based on a finding that a time at which the first message was received is within a range of a timestamp that the server associated with the second message;
• receiving the second message from the server, the second message comprising text and an entity, the first message comprising the text and a text representation of the entity;
• and
• displaying, on the display, the text and the entity to a user without displaying the first message.

One or more computer-readable memory having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause at least one processor to perform acts comprising:

• receiving, via a computer system, a first message that is sent using a communication protocol;
• sending, via the computer system, indicia of the first message to a server;
• sending, via the computer system, a request for the server to make a determination, based on the indicia, whether the server has a second message that corresponds to the first message, with the requested determination to be made based on a finding that a time at which the first message was received is within a range of a timestamp that the server associated with the second message;
• receiving, via the computer system, the second message from the server, the second message comprising text and an entity, the first message comprising the text and a text representation of the entity;
• and
• displaying, via the computer system, the text and the entity to a user without displaying the first message.
