A system and method for providing an e-mail service for handling electronic ink input. Text input and drawing input is received from a client as text electronic ink input and drawing electronic ink input. Handwritten characters from the text electronic ink input are recognized and electronic ink text data is generated. Draw tool configuration information based on selections at the client is received and applied to the drawing electronic ink input to generate electronic ink drawing data. An electronic ink display is created based on the electronic ink text data and the electronic ink drawing data. The text input from the client may also include keystroke text input. The keystroke computer readable code is converted into electronic ink text data. In addition, the input from the client may include electronic ink gestures. The electronic ink gestures are interpreted, and based on the interpretation a gesture action is called to operate on the electronic ink display. Further, the input from the client system may also include command input selected with a pointing device such as pen and stylus. The pen command input is detected, and the action required by the command is performed on the electronic ink display. The pen commands are edit commands, space insertion commands, and reshape commands to improve the appearance of the hand drawn shapes.
