Recover SMS messages from .backup file - sms

I have the extracted files from the .backup file created by a phones recovery menu. How do I go about restoring the SMS messages from the mmssms.db and other associated files to another phone? I was able to find a way to convert the contacts2.db file to a .vcf but haven't been able to find a way for the SMS messages.

Obiee agents sending delivery content in different formats for different uses

One interesting thing has occured lately in our delivery files. We had an agent that had a task to send content of Obiee analysis to several destinations (in this case email addresses) on a daily basis in xls format.
However, when emails were received, we noticed that to one recepient content is delivered in .xls format, but for others in .dat format.
We couldn't find any file or menu in obiee settings where this paramater may be modified. Is there any solution to this?
There isn't one. OA sends out a payload and then your mail server does...whatever it does. The problem will be at the mail server stage.

How to stop OSX messages app storing every sent SMS?

I have written a simple applescript script to go through a list of phone numbers and send an SMS using Messages app on OSX. This all works great but Messages stores every sent message and I don't want it to do that. I've unchecked the only option in Messages preferences to not save the messages on exit but this seems to do nothing. It still saves the messages.
I don't mind adding to my apple script to 'tell' messages to delete the messages but I don't know how to do this. Any ideas?

Wear Channel API gets one file per channel

Anybody got a handle on the new Channel API? 
The Android site says it can be used to send music files, for example. However, the docs for the Channel object say that receiveFile and sendFile should only be used once on any channel. The only example using channel I can find is here on StackOverflow to send a single file. How can Channel send many files? Does an app create many channels? Is the developer supposed to combine the files into one?
Any insight would be most welcome. Is there any reason to update code that uses assets to use channels instead?
You can have multiple channels so the easiest is to open one channel per file if you need to try multiple transfers.

Access the Message Inbox and read Contents in Windows Phone 7

I am trying to write a program for Windows Phone 7.5/8. My concept is, The appa should automatically read the incoming SMS, extract the data and notify of important things to the user. Is it possible? Like, it should read the message containing the total balance from you bank and notify you when the total amount goes below certain limit. Is it feasible or possible in Windows Phone?
No. It is not currently possible to intercept an incoming SMS or read past messages in the public Windows Phone SDK.

UI implementation of personal messaging limits

I have a simple messaging system on my site. I would like to implement limits on messages. For basic users, users can have store a maximum of 250 messages in their inbox and supporters can store a maximum of 3000 messages.
My question is about the UI aspects.
If a basic user already has 250 messages:
would you block another user from being able to send them a message until they have deleted some messages?
Or would you put the new message in a queue and not show it until a user has deleted some messages?
Would you tell them they have new messages waiting but they can't read them until they've deleted some messages?
What would be your approach?
I would suggest an automatic delete that the oldest messages are automatically removed when newer messages arrive.
Edit: See comment below.
Also, besides this method, you could make a way to save some messages or make them favorite to prevent auto-deleting them.
