Program to parse outlook emails into 160 characters and txt them to you? - Motorola Q Forum

squale · 09-05-2007, 01:48 PM

well I don't have a data plan so I don't have the Q retrieving my emails. I will not pay 45 a month for the data plan either. But I have the unlimited txt messaging plan, I was wondering is there a way for like outlook to parse emails into 160 characters so that a long email will get broken up into smaller pieces and then I can forward that to my cell phone so it comes in as a text message?

thanks!

i forwarded Yahoo emails to my Q for a while... and even though it is possible it starts counting where the header info starts so usually i would receive just a few words which did not help at all.

maybe there is a plug in to outlook which can do this parsing? that would work for me..

would it.. this is about more or less forwarding an email as a text message, so untouched by the Q until it is actually forwarded, unless i misunderstand.

Of course, this means that you'll have your PC running all the time, downloading your E-mail and texting it. And what happens if you want to reply to an E-mail?

Maybe there's an online service that already does this, though. E-mail to it gets texted to you; texts to it get E-mailed to somebody.
