RE: behavior of the subject/DSTD in the SNDDST command

The obvious answer....although may not be all the pretty.
Is to start your message right after the subject in the DSTD field and
continue it in the LONGMSG field.

But I am going to assume you probably already tried this.

Subject:        behavior of the subject/DSTD in the SNDDST command

I have noticed that when I send a text message to my cell phone using the
SNDDST command, type *LMSG, the field DSTD is required and 44 bytes long.
When I receive the message on my cell(which can only handle 100 characters
per message), even though I do not use all 44 bytes, they are sent as BLANKS
and counted against the total 100 characters.  The dramatically reduces the
amount of text that can be sent.  When I send a message from Outlook to my
phone, the blanks are truncated on the subject and 100 characters come thru
to my cell.  Anyone know how to have the 400 SNDDST command truncate the
trailing blanks?
TIA,
Carl
