1. A method of previewing messages comprising:
- generating a message for displaying on a user interface, wherein the message represents media;
initiating the generation of a preview window in a portion of the user interface in response to detecting selection of the message representing the media;
identifying preview information associated with the media, wherein the preview information identifies content of the media or identifies contextual information associated with the media;
extracting the preview information from the media; and
causing the display of the preview information in the preview window.

24. A computer-readable memory device having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
-
generating representations for messages to present on a user interface, the representations for the messages including a representation for electronic media; initiating the generation of a preview window in a portion of the user interface in response to detecting selection of the representation for the electronic media; facilitating the presentation of preview information for the electronic media in the preview window, the preview information including message content; causing the display of the message content in the preview window as a replica of at least a portion of the electronic media; receiving an interactive control signal indicative of an interaction with the portion of the user interface including the replica, the interactive control signal identified as a control input to modify the preview information to form modified preview information; and facilitating the presentation of the modified preview information including a modified replica of at least the portion of the electronic media. - View Dependent Claims (25)
