Re: smsbox filtering on GSM 03.38 even when alt_charset is defined

HI,

no it's not a bug IMO. in extract_msgdata_part_by_coding we don't convert anything.we just use
gsm03.38 covert function to be able to count message length because equal which charset smsc operator
accept message will be transported via ss7 and there is only gsm03.38 apply (ok may be issue here with cdma/tdma).

alt_charset is SMSC module option and only tell SMSC module to send message body in this charset.

Thanks,
Alexander Malysh
