The set of polygons texture mapped with a texture representing the text of the message. The invention further comprises displaying the texture mapped polygons on top of the text of the message, animating the texture mapped polygons in response to a particular command a user wishes to execute; and removing the texture mapped polygons from the area within the email client displaying the text of the message.
