Help Sms preview - can it be turned off?

Hey, using the default message app, is there a way of turning off the incoming text preview in the notifications bar?

I know you can turn off the incoming text notification altogether.. But that isn't ideal. I would like the phone to vibrate and produce a notification for new incoming texts but not show message content.

This can be done using "handcent" message app but I'd prefer to use the phone default.
 
I am having the same problrm. I saw a related topic in another post, but evetyone responed with advice to download a different program for either the lockscreen or text program. Someone please tell us how to turn off the message preview. Does it help if the phone is rooted?
 
Also want to turn this off. When the phone is locked I don't expect any of my content to be displayed on the unlock screen
