Help Handcent sending 2 mms

I'm going to post this here first as this may be Galaxy S specific.
I have handcent installed and love it. It's been working great. However tonight when I went to test out sending a picture to my girlfriends phone she received two copies of it. It shows up on my screen as me sending one, but on hers as if i did it twice in a row.
What I suspect is that Handcent is sending one and the default messaging app is sending the other. When I open up either of them they both show the thread and show 1 picture sent. I've looked through all the menus in both apps and can't figure out what the problem is.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas?
 
Just a quick update on my part. I did email the handcent guy and I will let you guys and gals know if I hear back from him.

I did figure out a workaround for those having problems sending 2 MMS but are OK sending SMS like myself. You can send the picture via the stock messenger app by going to the Gallery, touching the picture, touching the menu button, then touching share, and you choose to send with messaging. Doing it this way allows me to still get the great pop-up notifications on all my texts via handcent and still be able to send only 1 MMS if needed.

Hope this helps somebody.

I have exactly the same problem with my SE Mini Pro, sends 2 MMS to Mums phone, but using the original app, only one.

Keep us informed of any fix please

I've noticed this happens when I'm sending an MMS while connected/connecting to WiFi. Which is weird since I didn't think MMSes were sent over WiFi, but disabling wireless stopped the duplication.

Irritating, for sure.

Hmm, I'll have to see if that makes any difference. I don't believe they're sent over WiFi as the 3G icons always comes on when I go to send them even when I'm connected to WiFi.
