I have a sorting filter set up for an account that sends a message to my cell phone if I'm away from my desk (screen saver is active). This is a great filter that has allowed me to cancel one of my mobile services for notifications.
But there seems to be a quirk with the filter. I use AT&T Wireless, and this makes my filter somewhat easy to set up. With AT&T, you can send a message as long as you want, but only the first 155 characters or so will show up. This is usually sufficient if I'm waiting on an important message and am away from my desk. Besides, I can then connect (GSM) and receive the entire e-mail if necessary. Note that this initial notification is treated as a text message (and receiving text msgs are free). So all I have to do is redirect the message to get this to work. The message is truncated automatically (though I hope to get around to making the filter process the message better and not send extraneous data). Here is the problem: In the Actions tab of the filter, I have checked "Redirect the message to: " and filled in my mobile phone number. Underneath that is a checkbox stating "Do not send attachments" I have this checked, but according to my Outbox, attachments are getting redirected anyway. I just verified this by copying the filter and modifying some things. I sent a message with an attached JPEG, and the filter redirected the message as instructed - but IGNORED the "Do not send attachments" setting and the attachment arrived in my Inbox from the redirect.
