For me it would be enough to take to take the subject line from the
xap message and send it to a different email address. (I'm using
Orange at the moment, free but erratic. All it sends as a text is
the subject line).
Thinking on broader terms, (and I'm guessing at schemas and actual
functionality) it would be useful to take ANY xAP message and create
a rule for email generation, so an x10 status message a10 on would
send "kettle switched on" to an @orange address, b9 off wouldn't
send anything because it's only a christmas tree. A Comfort message
could send "day mode armed" or "intruder alert, attack dogs
released" to a different (more reliable like sendmytext) address.

Am I thinking of some major logic capabilities?
Would a listener like GUI application, picking up all messages and
presenting them to the user to create general or specific rules, be
in order?
Have you just groaned at the enormous amount of work I'm
suggesting? :)

I've had a look a week or so ago, looks very useful. I've not dived
in yet as I don't have a sendmytext account (yet, it's going to
happen sooner or later).

I'm look forward to the day when I accidentally send all xAP
messages to sendmytext and financially cripple myself :)
