Default to sending text messages

[Guest zippy172]

It would be nice if there was a way you set the "new message" to *always* default to sending a text message, or at least when tapping New, it then asks you what type of message you want to send...

Plenty of times I've composed a new message, to then discover when trying to pick a contact, only the email addresses are listed !

The "prewritten SMS" trick works on the M500 as well as Smartphones, so you could use that

It works on File Type associations, and a "dummy" file to trigger the action. You can have a shortcut in your Start Menu (or, like I do, an Icon in Spb PocketPlus) which will always open a new SMS.

If you want to specify a number to send the message to, and/or a message body, you can do that - but you could just as easily have a blank message open.

I'll knock up a CAB file for it, cos it's easier than doing all the registry settings by hand

Here you go

Install the CAb on your M500 and it'll set everything up for you
