       filename will be IN<date>_<time>_<serial>_<sender>_<sequence>.<ext>,
       for example IN20021130_021531_00_+45409000931640979_00.txt.

       The content of the file is content of the message and the format is
       defined by configuration directive InboxFormat (see gammu-smsdrc).

TRANSMITTING OF MESSAGES
       Transmitted messages are read from a folder defined by configuration.
       The filename should be one of the following formats:

       o OUT<recipient>.<ext>

       o OUT<priority>_<recipient>_<serial>.<ext>

       o OUT<priority><date>_<time>_<serial>_<recipient>_<note>.<ext>

       Explanation of fields:

       <recipient>
              recipient number where to send message

       <priority>
              an alphabetic character (A-Z) A = highest priority

       <ext>  txt for normal text SMS, smsbackup for gammu-smsbackup

       <note> any arbitrary text which is ignored

       For text messages, you can additionally append flags to extension:

          d      delivery report requested

          f      flash SMS

          b      WAP bookmark as name,URL

       Other fields are same as for received messages.

       For example OUTG20040620_193810_123_+4512345678_xpq.txtdf is a flash
       text SMS requesting delivery reports.

       SMSes will be transmitted sequentially based on the file name. The
       contents of the file is the SMS to be transmitted (in Unicode or
       standard character set).

       The contents of the file is the SMS to be transmitted (in Unicode or
       standard character set), for WAP bookmarks it is split on as Name,URL,
       for text messages whole file content is used.

       Please note that if file is not in Unicode, encoding is detected based
       on locales, which do not have to be configured if SMSD is running from
       init script. If this is your case, please add locales definition to
       init script.
