the only Real Thing "disabling HTC messaging" does, is kill your messaging Tab... meaning you cant tap on the message to open it any more... thats it.. everything else is still the same, dunno why people use it.. oh yeah i know, to get pic mail to work right on some Roms.. ie Zenyee cabs..

if you dont like the fancy one, turn the tab off and just start tapping the icon on top when a new messages comes in and go from there.. or add the "mail or text" shortcuts to your cookie tab and use those when a message comes in...
