All you need to do is add this wonderful little listener and a timeout. If anyone knows how do do this globally as an override to the List type, I’m all ears.

listeners: {
  itemtap: function(record, index, item, e) {
    setTimeout(function(){record.deselect(index);},500);
  }
}

There are really only two approaches.  One is to send a notice to your server to send a particular user an email.  For lightweight requirements, you can just do this:

var msg = {
subject : "My genius email",
body : "Something about rabid squirrels in your coffee... nothing wakes you up, like rabies in your cup"
};
window.location = "mailto:" + MyApp.User.Email + "?" + Ext.urlEncode(msg);

I’ll just skip to showing you the code… basically, just create your own message box instead of using the default prompt.  You create your own buttons and set custom text to whatever you like.

Ext.Msg.show({
  title   : 'Enter Email Address',
  msg     : null,
  buttons : [{
    itemId : 'ok',
    text   : 'Send',
    ui     : 'action'
  },{
    itemId : 'cancel',
    text   : 'Cancel'
  }],
  prompt  : { maxlength : 180, autocapitalize : false },
  fn      : function(text,btn) {
    // do some stuff
  }
});

Sencha 1.0(ish) doesn’t have an option for tying a different event for the onItemDisclosure tap than the itemtap event. Here’s a convenient workaround. Set the onItemDisclosure to true to force it to show up, but give all the work to the itemtap event.

onItemDisclosure : true,
listeners : {
  itemtap : function(record,index,item,e){
    if (e.getTarget('.x-list-disclosure')) {
      Ext.Msg.alert("Disclosure clicked!");
    } else {
      Ext.Msg.alert("Item clicked!");
    }
  }
}

FIN!
