Re: [PATCH] support GSM 03.38 encoding byte stream via smsbox's sendsms

Hi,

external applications that handle ringtone never has to deal with GSM.
Ringtone and all this stuff is binary data and has nothing with GSM todo.
As I said already, I don't see a need to include this GSM patch or also
other charset handling in smsbox. GSM and other charsets just a hack for
lazy developers that miss only one call to convert any_charset -> UTF-8.

Let us cleanup/drop this charset mess and go just with UTF-8. It's really
easier as is now.
