Mail Key v. "TXT" key- they do the same thing?

[joe8617]

I searched through here but couldn't find anyone talking about this:

On my keyboard, both the "TXT" button and the button with the picture of the envelope on it do the same thing. That is, when I slide out my keyboard and am on the home screen, if I press either of those two buttons, the phone opens up my text message inbox. I would think that the mail button should open the e-mail screen?

I just noticed this yesterday, and am not sure if it has always been that way or if I did something to change the function of the mail key?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Joe
