Need some help with SMS (text messaging) And the HTC Home

I just installed the latest version of the HTC home on my 6800. Everything looks and acts great, until you go and send a txt message. If I select a contact (or type a number in), type my message up and then click send I get an error that says "Cannot recognize one or more recipients or the address is not valid. Would you like to send the message anyway?"
I click yes and the message does go through. I sent a test message to myself and when the reply came in there were not problems. I then tried the reply and again there were no problems. It only seems to happen when I install the HTC home... can anyone shed some light as to how I might be able to fix this?
TIA!!!

Ok, I figured it out. Apparently if you try to send a txt message or an email without the "All email fields" option selected in the messaging options you will get this error.

To get to this option go to your Messaging center --> Menu --> Options
Once under the options go to the Tab "address" then under "In Contacts, get..." you should see a drop box with the options "All e-mail fields" or "None".

Hope that this helps anyone else that might run into this.7
