Yes.
"unseen" Router just before the real delivery one, sends an email to the
email-to-sms gateway you're using, and set "headers_only" so that the
body is not sent. If you want some of the body, then instead set
"transport_filter" and use a command which strips the content to the
headers and then "X" amount of the body.
Or change the existing Router to use "shadow_transport" and
"shadow_condition" to invoke an external command that does whatever's
needed.

Thank you Phil. I just discovered that problem last night. I was getting text
message notification - but the e-mails were not in my inbox! I then added the
'unseen' as you indicated and that took care of it. I use Horde as a webmail
client and use the Vacation feature - and I had a transport/router for
Vacation. Vacation would allow a reply to be sent to the person that send the
message indicating someone is out of the office - and deliver it to the mailbox
properly. I noticed it had that 'unseen' flag so after adding it to the
textmessage router, that fixed it.
