Any way to get different notification tones for different types of messages?

It gives me the same notification alert for incoming texts (important) as emails (not usually important especially in the middle of the night.) Maybe an app or I might just be missing something?

I spent hours trying to figure this out and so far. NO! But good news I downloaded Handcent SMS app and it lets me customize a ringtone for each person. You can find it in the "Market". Good luck.
 
Depends a LOT on the program. I have my stock notification that is used by texts. I went into GMAIL and changed the notification setting in GMAIL to use a different tone and voila. Just try changing the setting with the app that notifies you. Im sure some won't work but some might.
 
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH to dinomosion!!!! I downloaded the HANDCENT SMS app. and setting a custom notification tone was BEYOND simple!!!!! What a relief; I have been trying EVERY way you could possibly think of and more to no avail! I have gotten frustrated more than once until I downloaded this app!!!
