Right.. you've got web browsing abilities it sounds like of a limited
nature. Thanks for info. Checked Nortel and see that you have to get a
2-way phone, over strict text based messaging and pay $5.00 a month on your
plan. Good to know. Is it limited because you are browsing on a text based
nature (i.e, no graphics)?

My Nextel i1000 accepts up to 500 characters.
It's got all those features you mentioned plus a lot of other stuff. I use
the Internet access to check baseball scores. Doing much more than that is
an exercise in futility.

Does anybody know what mobile phone has the most text allowed for a message
via smtp from the Internet? ATT allows 150 characters, as far as I can see,
but this seems rather primitive by today's standards -- I used to get more
on my pager:)
Also, does it seem like most mobile phones offer one-way e-mail text
messaging now (and I hope for free, or as part of a package deal on monthly
service)? I haven't checked out other carriers yet, but I would presume so.
In addition, it appears two-way services are becoming more prevalent and
loaded with more fine-print costs.
Note: you've used in your script used the literal in the MIME field,
'Reply-To', which indicates you are specifying a reply address different
from the 'From'. This is a useful field in the message header, if you want
a replyable address other than the sender of the message, such as generic
mailbox for customers, or the like), which use alot.
