Abstract
An electronic mail (email) system generates an email user interface display for composing an email message. A context-sensitive widget display is surfaced, on the user interface display, in-line with other message content. A widget that generates the widget display interacts with a remote data service to surface data from the remote data service, on the widget display.
Claims20
A computing system, comprising:
- an electronic mail (email) system that displays an email user interface display with a display pane displaying message content of an email message;
- a widget component that runs a widget to repeatedly obtain data from a remote data service;
- and
- returned data representation generator logic that generates a representation of the obtained data in a widget display and displays the widget display in line with the message content in the display pane.

A computing system, comprising:
- an electronic mail (email) system that displays an email user interface display with a display pane displaying message content of an email message;
- an application component that runs an application to repeatedly obtain data from a remote data service;
- returned data representation generator logic that generates a representation of the obtained data in a first display and displays the first display in line with the message content in the display pane;
- and
- application interaction processing logic configured to detect actuation of a user interaction mechanism on the first display and control the computing system to perform an action based on the detected actuation.
