Thanks JR - yes, that is what I've been doing. It just seemed peculiar to me that the functionality (menus) are different when composing a text message vs an email message.
With addressing the recipient(s) of a text msg, it is really slick to be able to use only scrolling and clicking (without having to use the keyboard or touch screen). But when addressing an email, one cannot choose a recipient without typing (at least part of) the recipient's name.
Not a huge deal, but with the former, addressing is
fast and can
all be accomplished exclusively with the thumb. With the latter, it requires typing.
Eventually (of course) with a message(of any flavor) one must eventually start typing, but I liked the speed with which an addressee could be pulled up with the Texting menu scheme.
