with this latest release, the application works a bit better.
0.4 said it sent the message but actually didn't actually send.

Current 0.5 now sends, then stores the message in conversations correctly, and also making the * key into + when entering number is good implementation!

keep up the good work.

p.s. I personally have basic-average programming experience but if you are able to provide me with the source for this, I will see what I can do in terms of converting and developing further in QT which I am soon going to start using. feel free to PM me!
