I agree to some extent. Things are done in different places or even done twice. We have to rethink this a bit. >What I would suggest is to discourage the use of the generic "udh" parameter >(X-Kannel-UDH) and replace it with an "iei" parameter.

The IEI's are related to the text message they are pointing to so having a large IEI and a large text would just mean we create another new format. If we should do a better conversion, then we should do it full blown (I'm not saying kannel should go this far) conversion from existing standards like HTML with GIF images to EMS or something like that. -- Andreas Fink Fink-Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tel: +41-61-6932730 Fax: +41-61-6932729 Mobile: +41-79-2457333 Address: A.
