This is asked for in another thread as well, but not answered I'm afraid. Seems like it's hardcoded in tmail.exe, so there's no way to change it like a normal softkey or in the registry or something.

The delete button is bugging me as well...

I have been searching for this in the registry but i can't find it. I want to change this softkey to new as it used to be in WM5, as it easier to press the softkey then go through the menus while in the car.

If any of the gurus out there can help out on this one..........................

There is a work around with this, if you use the softkey changer and apply one of your soft keys in the today screen to New SMS it will take you directly to a new SMS message. I don't you will find the solution that you are looking for without alot of trial and error. This might help in the mean time.

As Video calling has been disabled in the new WM6 Roms i have used the Video calling button on the Uni as the 'new' key which does get me around but its still so annoying where i am so used to pressing this button when looking at other messages to create new messages and now when i press it it asks if i want to delete the txt.

I dont know if this helps but I thought I would throw it out there. I was looking for the same thing. Here is a link on how to create a short cut for New Sms.

Yes., it's annoying. But what is really amazing is the utter twat that came up with this change and the equally dumb twats that said "Good idea! Let's do it". Really.

I agree that it's frustrating that they changed the key to delete. I personally delete very few messages, and if I do I delete a whole batch of them in one go, the new button is one which I use MUCH more than delete.

Anyway, I was wondering if you might be able to help me with another issue which I'm having. When I open a message (email or text) it jumps down to the bottom of the page. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

This is asked for like 100 times, just use the search function on this beautiful forum, and your answer will be served right at your computer monitor ;)

My guess is that this was a customer-driven change requested by some of the huger Windows Mobile customers.

I'm not sure what is your background, but I am a "corporate type" and I receive about 100-200 messages per day in my Activesync inbox. I usually reply to messages rather than writing new ones.

I use the Delete key MUCH more frequently than the New key so this is a welcome change for me. Most messages are FYIs or system notification messages, or long threads (and I can read just the last message in the thread and then toss all earlier messages).

Have you changed the size of your scroll bars? if so change them back to default (13) i think.

Here's another preformatted shortcut. I found the one attached by Mike in post #6 just opened my Inbox. It was easily modified using the link he provided, but for the lazy ones among us! This one opens a new (blank) SMS, tested on my Exec running Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE.

Unzip the file, and copy it to wherever you want on your device.

lol! I agree 100%.
Some times MS does something that just makes you go W T F.

This only start the messaging application and go into the SMS view.

It doesn't start a new SMS ; at least not with my Schap's ROM with SMS/MMS combined.

EDIT: Works with the new .lnk file ; Thanks !

Thank you Mike the link to the Modaco site was the solution I was looking for. I created that sms.lnk shortcut and then assigned it as a softbutton on my today screen, now with one click I have a blank SMS ready for sending. Works like a charm.
