Electronic messaging has become one of the most widely used software in the enterprises. Increasingly its usage goes beyond the scope for which it was initially designed. For instance, the users consider it as a tool supporting the management of their tasks. The inappropriateness of current e-mail clients becomes more and more patent. Several research works have studied how to enhance its functionalities, especially in the domain of graphical representation of information. This paper decribes 'VisuThread', a conversation visualization module integrated in an electronic messaging client. The proposed graphical representation aims to allow a rapid apprehension of the current state of a conversation. It highlights the chronological succession of messages as well as the participants to the conversation. Moreover, additional useful functions are also integrated, such as filtering, zooming, or access to the message editor.
