James,

What a cool feature!
I sent you a couple of test messages over the weekend, did you receive
them?
The webpage on mi4 said "Failed to Send" or similar, but the bit
of
text underneath said "this is what just happened" and described
the
process you list below.

I'm happy to test again if that helps.

Cheers,

Tim.
