and a copy is sent to the
users's regular email inbox, which is useful if you use Verizon, which
chops text messages down to 160 characters (I don't know why, they just
do).

That's the SMS standard. SMS stands for *short* message service, which is defined (iirc) to be a maximum of 160 characters. Typically it's actually less, about 130.

Some systems will break up the message and send it as 130/160 character chunks. Others won't.

Cheers,
Wol
