I think this could spark an interesting discussion! Both AQL and Text Anywhere (providers I've used in the past) take only the subject and the body (up to the 160-character limit) as the text message body. Taking the entire e-mail including headers seems bad practice for the obvious reasons of message length restrictions!
TextAnywhere also do some other interesting things, based upon which TA domain you send your e-mail to: - Take the first 11 characters of the e-mail subject as the originator ID (instead of your mobile number) and the first 160 characters of the body as the text message - Take the first 160 characters of the e-mail body as the text message, setting the originator ID to your account's default mobile number - Take the entire e-mail body and send as many SMSes as needed to send the complete message (up to 3 messages will get linked as 1 by your handset) If you use the HTTP gateway there are a lot more options you can do, including getting a delivery report back when the message has been delivered to the handset (obviously custom programming on your side is needed.)
