New "New message" - FREEWARE POCKETPC


Here's a small replacement for the "Message" entry in the "New" menu.

It's mainly made because the original entry doesn't work on my P525, but it might be useful for others, too. It should also work fine with WM2003(SE), though I haven't tested it.

Features:
- New entry "Message+" in "New" menu
- The original "Message" entry is deactivated, but can be activated in the settings (WM2003, rider in menu entries) or registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\NewMenu\ {1D210285-ABE7-11d2-8442-0000F87A584A}\Enabled).
- Can be invoked directly in the start menu or tools like PocketPlus, iLauncher, ... (\Windows\MortNewMsg.exe, if the link isn't created proberly)
- Choosable account/service (SMS is default if available otherwise the first entry)
- Ability to filter by groups, recipent types (cell phones, all phone number, eMail addresses) and recipent name (search over "Show as" field)
- Multiple recipents possible (unselect previous selection by tapping again if you tapped the wrong one!)
- Search field has focus after start; (de)selection in listbox is possible with fire button - so it's easy to use with keyboards (though it's better to switch to "abc" mode on P525)
- Activates message area in the system's dialog, so no tab or tapping is required

However, there might be some troubles (performance/memory usage) if there are very many contacts.

The screenshot's from the German version, but the attachment's in English.
There'll be no other translations, because that'd be a bit complicated in this case.
