Remapping Button for Text Message Launch?

[Enthalpy]

I thought I would be able to find this, but the last hour of searching hasn't produced what I'm specifically looking for. Forgive me if I simply looked in the wrong place.

I'm in the US. The AT&T factory ROM comes with the HTC Home that you can drop on your today screen. One of the options launches you straight into the text message author screen.

I have already re-mapped the retarded PTT to launch Google Maps, which was cake, but try as I may, I can't remap the mail button (or any button) to author a text message.

I wouldn't mind making this a cube function if I can't make it a button function. I'm trying to save "today" space.

Thank you kindly for any time you can give me!

For me I put Google Maps on the apps screen, installed HTC Action screen and mapped that to the PTT button. I figure what do I do more, use google maps or compose text messages...Works like a champ and 2 quick button pushes and im writing a text.

I was hoping the outlook mail client executable would take some sort of an arguement to launch the compose text screen. I could then map that link to a button.

I didn't know about HTC Action. I'll give this a shot.

Thank you kindly for your time!
