Abstract
Techniques are described herein for transmitting subgroup messages and displaying such subgroup messages within a group-based message interface. The subgroup message includes both a message intended for the subgroup and a subgroup command indicating that the message is sent to a subgroup of a group participating in a group-based message interface. The subgroup members are then determined from the subgroup command and the subgroup message is displayed to the subgroup members.
