   Two related issues:   
      
   a:  if the sender is adding an emoji, aka one of those   
   dumb picture images, that'll glitchify any text-only phone   
      
   b:  iPhones, for some unfathomable reason, even if the   
   owner is just sending straightforward text, convert   
   this into some ugly MMS (Multi Media Shit) that even   
   other smartphones, let alone text-only ones, have   
   trouble displaying.   
      
   I have a different brand phone, and it'll show the   
   header info, then require a "download" to get the rest.   
      
   This sucks in that I have to use "data" rather   
   than "message", and... it will NOT work when   
   I'm using WiFi but only succeed if I use my   
   actual cellphone data signal.
