"Messages" App crashing

[iviyth0s]

So I use Handcent as my primary texting program and everytime I get a new text, the messages app requests a force close (but I can get and send messages fine with Handcent).

The problem is that I can't even open the messages app without it force closing indefinitely, I am unable to delete any message threads in my phone or handcent just hangs and when I was still in 1.5, I never really got handcent to delete my messages correctly but the messages app worked fine.

In the meantime I'm going to attempt removing the messages app and then reinstalling it. I wish the system could function with just handcent so both didn't have to be open all the time
