Sometimes for work I get a text message from a mailing list when a server goes down. For some reason I am unable to send a text reply to the email. Is this something I have to do something special for? I have always been able to do it on my old phones (non windows mobile).
that's a carrier feature. You'll have to call them. Probably the old phones were configured for your carrier.

can we be more specific? I'm having a hard time following you.
You get a SMS message from work? or an email?
is it sent to the SMS address on your phone or as an email?
When you reply, are you sending a SMS or an Email? what is the address type that you are replying to?
The devil is in the details....
When the mailing list sends out the messages it sends it to something like my phone number @txt.att.net however when I go to reply with a text message (sms) to the email address that the message was sent from it gives me an error saying "The text message account cannot be used to send email messages"

ok... you are using the email to SMS gateway.
you cannot text message to an email address from your phone.
You can MMS to an email address, try it that way
HOWEVER, if the sms you receive has sending address of a bunch of numbers, it can reply back to the original sender using the sms to email gateway that AT&T (or others) provides.. just reply.. do not change the address.
AT&T is my carrier and I send SMS to email addresses everyday. The email recepient sends their email to me and it shows up in SMS format. When I flashed to a Schaps Rom, I could not do it anymore, so I flashed to another rom (k's 1.30b) and it works just fine. It's a pretty handy feature to have. I am not sure if it is a carrier feature, but I do know not all roms let you do it.
That must be what it is. I am using the TNT rom. I will try another.
Try this one

Hi
Im on winmo 6.1 and i was wondering if we can set contact groups.
Example when i send mass text i have to constantly build the list, and i know on the iphone it keeps the list so you can easily next time just type the text message instead of rebuilding the contact group
any ideas??
If i had to guess. Make a new contact just for SMS and MMS sending.
Add the phone numbers or contacts in that contact seperating the numbers with a ; and a space.
This is something that used to be in Windows Mobile 2003, but was removed around WM5. Categories, filters, etc. seem to be there, but they don't work for much, if anything. I have yet to find a way to edit categories, make new ones, or assign them to contacts on the phone under WM6.1.
A few posts were made in other forums on here about pocketPC apps that do the job. I don't know of one for a smartphone. It's all a jumble in my memory, but one of those apps that lets you assign different ringtones to individual contacts and groups of contacts has the feature for SMS as well, I think. Try a search and see what happens.
I have searched far and wide as well
what Mikey says is pretty much gospel. So far, there is no other way to do this other than create a HUGE contact with all of the numbers you want added to it. Then, you just sms that contact you created. No other ways are possible, YET. Mikey RULES!

Yes, Mikey has a decent kludge to get around WM's limitations. The weird question is why the limitation was added in WM5? For all the plusses, it sucks that a phone of this calibre can't do something a $15 Nokia can.
i tried making a contact with "number; number" format and it didn't work. I get this error
Cannot send to e-mail recipients from the Text Message account.
any ideas how this can be possible?
are you placing email address' or phone numbers in the "SMS contacts?
phone numbers
all im doing is making a new contact
and in the phone number field just typying in phone numbers ie. 1234567899; 1234567899; 1234567899
when i select it to send a message to it shows NameofContact<12345667899; 1234567899; 1234567899>
then i get an error when i try to send

any ideas?

My company has an alerting SMS system. Usually you receive a reminder. The special thing in the SMS that instead of the number in the "Form" field it shows the text "alert".
When I receive this SMS it shows that I received it one of my friends from facebook contacts :s His profile also not contains number under the phone field just characters.
How this huge bug could pass the test?!
I reported this issue to HTC support, but of course no response.
This happens with me when receiving texts from t-mobile, it always says that they are from a random facebook friend. The only way to stop it, is to stop the phone syncing facebook contacts.
I too am having the same problem.
It seems very odd that it should pick up a random facebook contact.
I don't sync my facebook contacts to the Desire, but do remain logged into facebook and it still picks up the random contact despite the mobile numbers used etc all being different!
A fix would be great!
I had this bug, I had the contact delete their phone details seeing as they only entered garbage. Don't hold your breath on it ever getting fixed.
Hi all, I have added the facebook facility to my desire and linked contacts to their fb accounts. However lloyds tsb sent me some details via text and it has been linked to a friends facebook account (despite not having them in my phone contacts) in my contacts list.
I've had exactly the same problem. I also had a text from Lloyds TSB a few days ago and it came up in my messages as being from a Facebook contact (which confused the hell out of my until I looked at the message details and realised it wasn't from this chap at all).
The same has just happened when I received a text from Mobile Fun saying that my Car Holder has just dispatched, the text said it was from the same contact.
Hi guys. A lot of people have found this bug. The first thing you need to do is check these friends contact details on Facebook. What I found when it happened to me was two of my Facebook contacts had "ask me" or "none of you business" in their profile under the Phone Number field. Sense UI imported this along with all their other details and so, you may not think they are in your phone contacts, they are saved with a phone number (which is just gibberish they entered in that field)
The only way I was able to solve it was to ask my contact to remove the field altogether from her profile, seeing as she didn't want to fill it out at all. I don't know why, but rather than leaving it blank people feel compelled to have some sort of silent protest at being asked in the first place and fill that field with fake numbers or random words.
The bug means when Sense picks up a message from an unknown source with a name where the phone number should be (in my case T-Mobile would send my allowance details and they would appear as T-Mobile) and then tries to find them in your phone book it attaches to the first contact it sees who also has text in their number field. I deleted a contact I wasn't really that keen on in the first place because of it.
I had a number of these in my phonebook - have just removed the Facebook contacts link until a fix is put in place.
I have stock rom and two exchange email accounts from two different servers. One of the accounts has a bug that I can duplicate consistently. Every time I reply to an email the original email only has about four line of text in it. All of the text was there when I received the email but it is missing when I reopen the email. Also on this account I have either a little green or blue arrow on emails in my email inbox which indicate that I replied to or forwarded an email.
I have seen others indicate a bug that they are not receiving the entire email but that's not my problem until after I reply.
This is a major issue for me since I rely on the phone for work. Does anyone have an idea ?
I think the bug exists because of two exchange accounts. I have to do more testing ...
Any one of you have two exchange accounts on the S3
