Abstract

An apparatus and method are disclosed that use a thread function to group and manage messages. A method of transmitting a message includes generating a thread ID for supporting a thread function, generating a message including the thread ID, and transmitting the generated message. A method of receiving a message includes detecting whether a received message includes a thread ID, searching a message storage to detect messages therein having the same thread ID when it is detected that the received message includes a thread ID, and grouping contents of the detected messages having the same thread ID, and displaying the grouped contents. Thus, contents of messages during a messaging dialogue can be manifestly arranged and discerned.
