Desire - Silence non-SMS notifications

[ruggle]

Hi All - Desire newbie here

I want to turn the sound off for all notifications _except_ SMS. I don't like getting beeped at 2am for some email, but if anyone wants to text me directly I should probably know about it.

I can see the settings for a different SMS tone to std notification one. I was thinking of using tonepicker and recording a silent MP3 then setting that to the general notification sound - any better ideas?

TIA
