Efficient conversation transmission to mobile clients

A server system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more programs stored in the memory, the one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server system to:
• receive an incoming message, wherein the incoming message corresponds to a new message in a message thread having a plurality of messages;
• identify first quoted text and second quoted text that are each included in the incoming message, wherein the first quoted text is included in a first previous message of the message thread, and wherein the second quoted text is included in a second previous message of the message thread;
• replace the first quoted text and the second quoted text in the incoming message with respective first and second tokens to produce a modified incoming message, wherein the first token provides a first information identifier that includes a first message offset to indicate how many messages earlier in the message thread the first previous message is offset from the incoming message, and wherein the second token provides a second information identifier that includes a second message offset to indicate how many messages earlier in the message thread the second previous message is offset from the incoming message;
• and
• send the modified incoming message to a client system distinct from the server system.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• receive an incoming message, wherein the incoming message corresponds to a new message in a message thread having a plurality of messages;
• identify first quoted text and second quoted text that are each included in the incoming message, wherein the first quoted text is included in a first previous message of the message thread, and wherein the second quoted text is included in a second previous message of the message thread;
• replace the first quoted text and the second quoted text in the incoming message with respective first and second tokens to produce a modified incoming message, wherein the first token provides a first information identifier that includes a first message offset to indicate how many messages earlier in the message thread the first previous message is offset from the incoming message, and wherein the second token provides a second information identifier that includes a second message offset to indicate how many messages earlier in the message thread the second previous message is offset from the incoming message;
• and
• send the modified incoming message to a client system distinct from the computer system.

A method comprising:

• at a server system including one or more processors and a memory storing one or more programs, the one or more processors executing the one or more programs to perform operations comprising:
• receiving an incoming message from a client distinct from the server system, wherein the incoming message corresponds to a new message in a message thread having a plurality of messages, the incoming message including first and second tokens in place of respective first and quoted text, the incoming message providing a first information identifier that includes a first message offset to indicate how many messages earlier in the message thread that a first previous message having the first quoted text is offset from the incoming message, and the incoming message further providing a second information identifier that includes a second message offset to indicate how many messages earlier in the message thread that a second previous message having the second quoted text is offset from the incoming message;
• replacing the first and second tokens in the incoming message with the respective first and second quoted text to form an expanded incoming message;
• and
• sending the expanded incoming message to a second server system.

A server system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more programs stored in the memory, the one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server system to:
• receive an incoming message from a client distinct from the server system, wherein the incoming message corresponds to a new message in a message thread having a plurality of messages, the incoming message including first and second tokens in place of respective first and quoted text, the incoming message providing a first information identifier that includes a first message offset to indicate how many messages earlier in the message thread that a first previous message having the first quoted text is offset from the incoming message, and the incoming message further providing a second information identifier that includes a second message offset to indicate how many messages earlier in the message thread that a second previous message having the second quoted text is offset from the incoming message;
• replace the first and second tokens in the incoming message with the respective first and second quoted text to form an expanded incoming message;
• and
• send the expanded incoming message to a second server system distinct from the server system.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a computer system, the one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of the computer system, cause the computer system to:

• receive an incoming message from a client distinct from the server system, wherein the incoming message corresponds to a new message in a message thread having a plurality of messages, the incoming message including first and second tokens in place of respective first and quoted text, the incoming message providing a first information identifier that includes a first message offset to indicate how many messages earlier in the message thread that a first previous message having the first quoted text is offset from the incoming message, and the incoming message further providing a second information identifier that includes a second message offset to indicate how many messages earlier in the message thread that a second previous message having the second quoted text is offset from the incoming message;
• replace the first and second tokens in the incoming message with the respective first and second quoted text to form an expanded incoming message;
• and
• send the expanded incoming message to a server system distinct from the computer system.
