I saw my transcript on the MS site and since i got my MCSA Messaging it now says i have 2 credentials being MCSA 2003 and MCSA: Messaging 2003. Does that mean i will get 2 seperate Member Kits????

Yup, you'll get separate kits for each cert, even if a cert is essentially a superset of another cert you have.
I got 4 kits:
MCSA 2000
MCSA 2000 messaging
MCSA 2003
MCSE 2003
Since the kits were delayed, I got them all at the same time, even though I certified at 3 different dates:
First I achieve MCSA 2000, but since I already passed the Exchange 2000 admin exam, I also achieve messaging.
Then upgraded to MCSA 2003
Then completed the rest of the track for MSCE 2003. -
