messaging window on top of today screen

[ac0x]

Hello Group

Sometimes when I wake my phone up, the title bar of my messaging window is on top of my today screen. If I hit the X button it goes away, but if I dont all my today screen items dont work. Im guessing this has to do with the phone trying to launch the email window while its asleep during a scheduled email check, but why is it trying to bring up the email screen instead of doing it in the background?

Thanks to all who help
