The conversation includes application information enabling the client to run an embedded application, where the embedded application originates from an application server that is distinct from the conversation sever system. The client runs the embedded application. The embedded application accesses the attachment; and processes the attachment to generate output data for display within the conversation. The client displays the output data within the conversation.
