*SOLVED* Is there anyway to separate the native threaded sms app and email?

[sandiegodude]

I just made a .lnk file pointing to command='-service "EMAIL"'
and it still just opens the last used messaging device.

In order to make it work you need to replace SMS with the Account display name for the email that you are trying to access. Say for instance you set up a gmail account the default Account display name would be Gmail
So it would look like

\windows\tmail.exe -service "Gmail"

Here are some examples of where to find the Account Display Name, Remember it is case sensitive and has to be exactly as shown.

Thanks for taking the time!
I would press the 'thanks' button but i'm mobile (no button present).
I'll rep you once I get home. I hope this works!
This is the only thing holding me to Cody's threaded.

Can I do this via word mobile or would it have to be notepad from my pc? I'm not home right now.
I've tried renaming a doc to .lnk but it doesn't change the suffix.

You would need a text editor, like a notepad program, word mobile will not work. I use frNotepad its a great little notepad app. Just go to Open and select all files and find the shortcut and edit it.
or Resco file explorer is a great application. Just go the the shortcut and click on properties to edit the target.

This helps a bit. I too miss a few things from CodyPPC's threaded text.

I worked around the button to sms issue by just not having it go to the account select. However, its real annoying that when incoming text arrive I can no longer just click "Dismiss" with a quick thumb swipe of the right soft-key. I have to select Menu from the right soft key then Dismiss from the sub-menu.

I wish there was a way to get it to just have two options: reply & dismiss (like with Cody's). These are really the only two things you do with a new text. This seems like a counter intuitive design choice by MS. Now, I have to click menu then carefully select "Dismiss" from the small context menu that pops up.

btw, why is this cab for "hotmail" users only?

[sandiegodude]

There is a script in the cab that tells it which account to open by name. ie cox, comcast, hotmail, yahoo etc.
I wrote it to go to hotmail since that was what I used. You can write the line to point to whichever server you have on your phone. I think I used wince cab manager.
