Contact shortcuts missing SMS option

[@p0c@lyp53]

After adding a contact shortcut icon to a screen, I tap on the icon and can only choose from calling or emailing them. On previous versions of Android, there would also be an option to send an sms. Is it something I am missing or something ICS doesn't provide?

I'm pretty sure the option should be there.. are you using the stock messaging application, or a third-party one like Handcent or GoSMS?
