Help Can SMS Preview be eliminated?

Can SMS Preview be eliminated? Everytime an SMS comes in, it shows a preview on top of the application you're are working on or the homescreen, AND also as a ticker on top.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been using Handcent for a while now, but I don't remember the default messaging app using pop-over notifications. I know you can turn off status bar notifications by clicking on Menu>Settings while viewing your messages, then scroll down and uncheck Notifications. The pop-over might be tied to that as well.
