handcent black list troubles

Go into settings and find show black list
Should be a setting if you long hold to take off black list

Right, once you have 'Show Black listed' contacts checked, hit Back until you get to your list of message threads. Long-press on someone who's blacklisted, and hit Unblacklist.

If you want to hide messages from your girlfriend, KEEP them blacklisted, and just use the stock Messages app to read your messages to/from them.

Just keep an icon for Handcent on your home screens, and NOT 'Messages'.

Open Handcent. Open Settings (either hit the wrench in the top right corner, or hit Menu > Settings.

'Show Blacklist' is the fifth item from the VERY bottom. Check the box. Then, Blacklisted people will be listed, just like everyone else's messages.

Touch and HOLD ("long-press") on their message thread on that first Handcent screen, and then it'll pop up with some options.

Unblacklist will be one of them.
