thank you!
And a great idea it is ;)
This would be a first step into the direction of a combined menu, i think.
The next step would be to show recent conversations/contacts in the
messaging menu, plus a menu item to "clear" the menu.
We often want to pick up on a conversation previously acknowledged, but
these (the acknowledged ones) are not shown in the messaging menu, and
there's no other history of recent contacts or recent conversations.

Skype for example has a submenu called "Recent Conversations", which comes
in handy, except that it is a submenu and therefore lacks accessibility.

So once again, thanks for your idea, i love it and i think as simple as it
is, it is also equally important.
