(By the way, did you know that they're usually encoded in their own 7-bit charset?)
I'd forgotten about that...
(Might I suggest Google Voice for the future to avoid that? That's how I make sure all my texts continue to exist forever, in addition to them being completely free, and send/receivable from multiple devices at once including my computer.)
Quite possibly for the future. Not going to do that now, though.
Tangentially -- remember I'd complained about my phone not having a block list, and you pointed out Google Voice does? Well, this one does have a block list, I just didn't know about it till yesterday due to the terrible interface.
Meanwhile, I've resorted to hand-transcribing them and then deleting the ones I hadn't already deleted to make room. :P It's a bit silly, I know, but text messages are short so it's not as big of a pain as it sounds like it would be.
