Hi all,

Use Kannel quite a bit, thanks for all the work. I've run into an
interesting issue which I'm not sure whether to blame on Kannel or the
SMSC. When a multi-part message comes through where some parts are
GSM7 and some parts are UTF16, Kannel combines the parts naively as
bytes and therefore leads to a corrupt message.

Example below with 4 parts. Note that part 1 has a coding of 8, while
the others are plain GSM7 with coding of 0. But when the final part is
received Kannel simply concatenates the bytes from all the parts,
leading to a mix of single and multi-byte message, which is obviously
corrupt. (immediately below)

Is this valid SMPP traffic? (to use separate encodings for each of the
parts of a segmented message) I do notice that the GSM7 parts (2-4)
while definitely encoded as GSM7 are only 73 characters long which
seems suspicious. At the same time, it seems Kannel should be
converting these all to unicode internally and then appending them
instead of just appending the bytes. So could see this being an
argument that Kannel is wrong here.

This is on version 1.4.4
