Re: SMSD long messages problem - "too long" smses actually "NOT too long" - Lenght control not updated?

[R.C.]

> From the changelog it seems that unicode
support has been added since 2003.

I've composed a message with an hex editor
using only ASCII codes but the characters
count is the same.

It seems that when they added unicode support
(2bytes per char) the routine that counts
message lenght has not been updated.

Just a guess :-)

I've took a look at the code but I'm not a
C programmer, have just the basics, so
I'm not able to find where the control
happens.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks for the support.

Best regards

Raffaello
