Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/849

Wouldn't it be better to back up SMS with From and To of the e-mail set to the corresponding values and the subject filled with the message itself? I can understand this might not work for MMS, but it would make reading a conversation thread much easier. gammu does it this way but does not work with Android.

Subject lines have length restrictions, so this wouldn't work for all messages

Thank you for the reply.

I wonder how gammu does it. I guess it just cut things off if they are too long and repeats the message in the body.
