I meant using Intents to open a real SMS app that will handle the sending. So, indeed, Handcent SMS will not do that because it is an SMS app and such an app will want to be able to style something like a 'send sms' button which would make such a magic button useless IMO.

The question is what are the valid use cases to do that? -- Mounir _______________________________________________ dev-security mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security
