About the Message History

The Message History stores:

• All messages you've sent or received.
  
  Open a received message to display it in a "Read Message" window.
  
  Select messages you've sent to see their text in the preview window. You cannot play back audio or open file attachments in your sent messages.

• All invitations you've received but not yet accepted or declined.
  
  Open an invitation to display it in a "Respond to Invitation" window. If you accept or decline the invitation, it gets deleted from the message history. However, if you close the invitation without accepting or declining it, it will continue to be stored in the Message History.
  
  If an invitee accepts or declines an invitation and includes a response message, this response displays in the Message History as an invitation message. You can see the text of invitation responses only in the preview window.
  
  The Message History does not save invitations you send.
  
  See Groove indicators to see a description of indicators that appear in the Message History.
