Reverse engineered

I never figured out how binary attachments worked for SMS, bitpim only reads
the text parts of the messages.

Can anyone tell me how to correctly discover this

SMS messages stored on phones vary hugely in the way that they are stored
from one phone model to another and one carrier to another.
You would have to reverse engineer this yourself to figure it out.

You should also check out MMS, I think it is a less proprietary when it
comes to binary objects on the wire, you may probably face the same problem
wrt proprietary storage formats. I think the LG verizon phones use XML, this
will be easier to work with than the SMS binary format.
