摘要

A system and method for creating, managing, and using an application in a messaging environment is described. A communication including an application specification comprising zero or more commands is received from a sender and processed. The system and method determine whether the application specification is in a done condition, and iterates until done. A confirming specification, including revisions made while iterating, is also created and returned to the sender and recipients.
