Suggested Feature: Email Forwarding as SMS

I've experimented with forwarding an email to a cellphone, which is received as an SMS. The problem is all the prefix information (entire From address, To Address, Subject, etc.) exceeds the standard SMS message length of 160 characters. There is no room for the actual message. The phone simply appends the word 'more?'; indicating that there was more that couldn't be included.

It would be very useful if a feature was added to Thunderbird's current email forwarding, whereby the message could be formatted as an SMS that includes only the basic From, and the Message-Body. Of course if the message-body exceeded the SMS length it would be truncated, but it would still be viewable in-part. I currently use a service that forwards SMS to Email; Thunderbird could then forward the emailed SMS to another phone.

I hope this suggestion is considered for future Thunderbird improvements.

The suggestion process is to file an enhancement bug request in Bugzilla. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home

I am pretty sure that request is in there and has been for a long time, but seriously forwarding to SMS is a poor result. Forward as MMS would be a better result as it can accommodate multi media and HTML so the whole email could logically go that way.

Matt,

Unfortunately, the link you sent me doesn't recognize my credentials that I use on this website. So I can't post there.
