No one seems to have a good answer for this. Can you help?

How can I place a shortcut for a new text message in my HTC Home Plugin menu? I used to have this and when I did a hard reset to my phone it is now gone.
Thanks,
Chris

If you'd rather use a button, not an icon... try this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356322&page=4) my post on page 4 is just about new txts, but the whole thread is really helpful (if you want to have an icon on the screen to podge with your finger, then dont bother reading it tho)

Actually this is exactly what I don't want. Please read the question more closely so you can try and give a correct answer. I am looking to have one of the 6 icons be a blank text icon. I have had it before so I know it can be done.
Thanks

I dont use the HTC plugin... so i cant give explicit instructions, however - if you can add a shortcut (not an exe unless you can edit the command line) try the link in my previous post. If it doesn't help then i'm afarid i cant help as i've decided that 1 hardware button is better than podging the screen! (although the link will help if you want to add the podge to something like resco today - i'm assuming HTC today is similar.....)

cjk5wf, you can create the shortcut to tmail with the following parameters :
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body" ""
