Abstract

Aspects include a method, system, and computer program product for providing a communication from a first communication device. The composition of a first message by a user in a first composition area of the first communication device is detected. The first message may be part of a first conversation stream between the user and a party on a second communication device. A triggering signal received at the first communication device allows the user to prepare a second message as part of a second conversation stream. In response to the triggering signal: a second composition area is opened at the first communication device for preparing the second message. The second message is transmitted in response to receiving a signal to send the second message.
