While we're having this conversation, why are you so locked-in to a "New
mail" message? It seems to me that it would just be easier to have your
phone directly retrieve mail, if your platform allows this.
Also, I'm a little confused again, sorry. Do you want to send an SMS text
message to a phone number, or did you want to send an email to an email
address?
