Claim 13:
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations, comprising:
causing rendering of a first user interface (UI) on a device of a member in a defined group of users of a communication session, including messages being communicated between the defined group of users of the communication session, the computing device permitting access to the messages of the communication session by the defined group of users;
receiving a selection of a message set comprising a subset of the messages of the defined group for corresponding with a non-member user who is not a member of the defined group;
delivering the selected message set to the non-member user;
causing rendering of, on a display device of the non-member user, a second UI including the selected message set and subsequent messages exchanged between the non-member user and a subset of the users in the defined group directed to the selected message set, but not full access to other subsequent messages in the defined group not directed to the selected message set; and
causing rendering of, on the first UI of the device of the member in the defined group, subsequent messages exchanged between the non-member user and the defined group, wherein the subsequent messages are rendered on the first UI as a visually separate messaging session within a full message view of previous messages that were rendered on the first UI.
