A communication device and method for displaying messages, such as e-mail messages, is provided. When the message is lengthy, containing content from one or more replicated previous messages (such as earlier messages copied in a subsequent reply or forwarding message), the replicated previous messages are typically appended at the end of the message in reverse chronological order.
