Mechanisms for a messaging application program (e.g., an e-mail or instant
messaging application program) to render information on a display. A
server may download different template sets (or the client may otherwise
access such template sets) to different client computing systems. Each
template is usable by the messaging application program at the respective
client to render a display screen in accordance with the display
capabilities and/or the user display preferences and settings of the
respective client computing system. The messaging application program is
allowed to stay the same, while variances due to different display
capabilities and/or user display preferences and settings are
accommodated by the different template sets.
