Abstract
A user interface messaging system and method that allows a user to defer resolution of the substance of a message, such as a user-initiated error, and adds the message to a queue. The messaging system may remind the user to resolve the substance of the messages in the queue. After a message has been added to the queue, the message layer may be closed, allowing the user to continue using the application.

- receiving a command from the user to defer resolution of the substance of the first message;
- and
- adding the first message to a queue that thereafter comprises the first message.
