A communication apparatus, a system, and a method are provided that allow in-context electronic communication. In particular, communications received by a user is organized with in-context information, such as pictures or profiles of senders or recipients, forwarding history of the communication, relationship among the senders or recipients, subject matter and flow of conversation, and the like. As such, the user may review the received communication in context. For example, a graphical interface may be provided to present received messages as graphical conversations among different characters or persons using their pictures. The graphical interface may depict participants, listeners, and speakers in different panels to represent a flow of group conversation. In an embodiment, the communication may be depicted in a story or comic based format to layout messages or comments from different people.
