Abstract
A method of operating an instant messaging application comprises running an instant messaging dialogue session across a plurality of participant devices. When a user wishes to postpone the session, the application receives a postponement signal from a participant device, determines a future restart time and future participant devices, terminates the current instant messaging dialogue session, and initiates a new instant messaging dialogue session at the restart time for the future participant devices.
