When you have selected REPLY you will see the blank text message with To at the top. Select the To box (which will have the contact you are replying to's details in it) and then select MENU (bottom right of the screen) and then the ADD RECIPIENT is available. You can then select additional contacts from the list.
Other way (which I find quicker)
Select the To field in the sms / mms your creating and then type the persons name, the contact should appear above the keyboard and you can then select them.
That should do it.

Looks like the easiest way is from the TF3D screen, don't tap the body of the text (which will bring up the conversation), but press menu (bottom right) then reply. This brings up the old style single message screen, and you can then click in the "to" box and add extra recipients to your heart's content.
Your next question will probably be (when you get there), how do you forward an SMS? For this, you need to bring up the full conversation, then use the hard up/down buttons to select the single message you want to forward, and then use the menu to forward. The option to forward is not enabled till you select an entire sms via the up/down keys.
In case you hadn't worked it out, when reading SMS conversations, you can change the font size using the touchy-feely wheel (around the outside of the circular button at the bottom)
Hope you enjoy the device - I really reocmmend an hour or two trawling the forums, particularly the "Diamond Tweaks List", to maximise your enjoyment.
tomchap/raveydavey,
Many thanks for the replies. I can see it's going to take a while to find all the subtleties of this thing. Overall though I'm very impressed - how did they fit all this capability into such a small form factor?!
Raveydavey - thrust me I've spent far too long looking through the forums and have implemented some of the tweaks e.g. 3DTFlo cache, wake on SMS etc.

is there a way for me to erase all sms( sent or received) at once instead of trying to do so 1 by 1 ? if there is a option to select all and then delete would be great but i have not found a way to do that...... thanks
i dont have my phone in front of me, but i do believe if you are looking at the all folders screen, the one that shows inbox/outbox/sent/etc. you can go to options and somewhere in there, maybe in tools or something you should be able to delete all messages. sorry i cant be more descriptive, but its there, just look a bit.
One way to do it - use your stylus and drag down, starting with the first msg you want to delete. It will start highlighting all the messages as you drag downwards. Once you have all the messages highlighted, tap and hold and a context sensitive menu will appear, allowing you to delete all of those highlighted messages.
Do a search for InboxExtender, it's a simple cab that adds a "delete all" and "mark all as read" option.
Use the on screen keyboard and ctrl A to select all then hit delete
Scroll selecting them all and hit delete
Menu / tools / clear sms/mms but this takes out even stored messages not just in box and sent
one small question i seem to have managed to turn mine upside down, by default new messages appeared at the top of the list now they seem to appear at the bottom of current messages, anyone know how to reverse it again ?

At the top, you should have Inbox and Received with down arrows next to them. Click on Received and you should get a dropdown menu. If you click the same menu item that is selected, it does a reverse sort.

found this here on the forums. It adds a few extra menus...
When you are in the messages screen, select Menu / Tools / Clear Messages. It will erase all inbox and sent messages.
This is weird.
When I open the keyboard and select a menu item such as message to send a message the drop down menu will display but it will be blank. I can't read the selections such as send SMS send MMS send E-mail. I can move over the selections and actually make a selection, but there is no text. Just a blank white box. This goes for anything, not just messages. While sending a text, when i begin to type in a contacts name, the auto selection will display a series of names but i can't read the names! its just a blank white drop down box.
I run a ATT Tilt 6.1 stock rom, with a few add ons- s2u2, opera 9.5, fingerfriendly friends, latest has been a couple podcast programs.
Any help would be appreciated. I have been a lurker on these boards the past few months and have been amazed by all the good stuff you guys contribute. loving all the progress on android as well!
Thanks,

Did u try to disable cleartype in landscape? U can do that in schaps advanced config tool.

u r welcome
i've just got a diamond 2, i know this can be done, cos i did it b4 !
but i can't make this happen reliably ...
can someone pls enlighten me ?
thx !
Menu -> Remove
I think you've misunderstood - I'm looking for the one that will display all messages in the thread, with little checkboxes on the side for me to select which message to delete.
Incidentally, there's no Menu -> Remove on my diamond 2.
there is in the touch flow view of the message, thats the only way you can remove a single message as far as i know.
Ahh, I see what you mean.
I had to select the message from the Touch Flow view. The whole conversation with that contact is shown, then I could do it by selecting Menu - Delete. Otherwise, by selecting the contact, then clicking on the Conversations tab will also bring me to the same place.
Thanks !
I'm at work so there may be mistakes so just let me know!
You will need to download:
Cool Texter(An app that allows you to never send boring messages anymore, this app makes your texts look cool!)
Handcent Sms (send sms/mms with customized options.
Better keyboard (An alternate on screen keyboard)
After downloading all of the apps you will have to:
Go to Setttings>Locale & text>Better Keyboard
Go to anywhere where you can use the on screen keyboard. Long press on the text field. There will be a pop up. Click Input method>Better Keyboard. When you click on the text field you should see a different on screen keyboard. (If you go to Better Keyboard setting you can change the skin of the on screen keyboard.)
Open Cool Texter
-Making a signature for texting.
-Click Name Maker and type what you want the signature to be. (If you want to have the letters looking creative you can type first in the Cool Text top field box and click on the text field on the bottom and it will automatically copy the new style of the text. There is an option in the middle to change the style.) Choose the signature that you like and click on it and it will automatically copy it.
Open Handcent Sms
Click Menu>Settings
You can change almost everything. I will explain the signature part only cause I had you create one in Cool Texter
.
Click on Enable signature>Personal signature than in the text field box with the keyboard open press Menu + V. Click Ok.
There you go enjoy. There will be many questions just ask. The more you check the setting and try the apps out you will see more things. You can edit individual setting to different people you are texting. At least from my experience.
I often send pictures to my friends; especially one person. Is there an app or patch to the Sprint picture viewer (or any viewer) that would add "Send this to Joe" to "Send this to a contact" and then automagically do it without all the normal clicking and searching and stuff?
Thanks
Yeah, in Manilla (touch flo 3d interface) go to pictures, hit the desired one, when it's full screen tap the screen, a context menu will appear, hit the envelope icon (3rd from left to right), choose your method of delivery. If you have any problems, post back.
This is for the HTC Album application
Yes, thank you, thats what I've been doing but there's still a lot of steps. After ten or twenty pics it gets aggravating. I meant being in album or camera, tapping or holding down the stylus and a "Quick Send" menu pops up.

Tap one and it's on it's way.
You could also install file explorer extension, check "preview image" and you'll see thumbnail of the file in file explorer, then in the context menu click send. Again brings sms/email and other options
Sorry I can't think of anything else
Thanks. It was just an idea. Maybe I'd better learn how to program.
