Abstract

A communication device (100) for receiving and displaying information includes a memory (135) for storing messages of different message types, a database (140) for storing presentation information indicative of available icons, and a programming device (130) for receiving programming information indicative of which of the available icons are to represent which of the different message types. A display (125) presents, in accordance with the programming information, icons representative of the messages stored in the memory (135) and indicative of message types associated with the messages.
