💡 Update the documentation pages for all existing SMS messenger modules
I was contacted by a user who extensively uses my Apprise DAPNET module (which is part of Apprise's SMS messenger group). Similar to all messenger modules in this particular group, the DAPNET plugin is not capable of transmitting both title and body input data files (whereas submitted by the user). Whenever the user supplies title data, this data is ignored by Apprise - see also
# A title can not be used for SMS Messages. Setting this to zero will
# cause any title (if defined) to get placed into the message body.
title_maxlen = 0
To me, this constraint make total sense as any SMS-related messengers aren't capable of transmitting title data. However, when looking at the SMS category's plugin documentation pages, all of these pages convey the idea that sending a mesage with bodyandtitleis possible. Example:
# Assuming our {APIKey} is gank339l7jk3cjaE
# Assuming our {FromPhoneNo} - is in the US somewhere making our country code +1
# - identifies as 1-123-555-1223
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
msgbird://gank339l7jk3cjaE/11235551223
# the following would also have worked (spaces, brackets,
# dashes are accepted in a phone no field):
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
msgbird://gank339l7jk3cjaE/1-(123) 555-1223
This difference between documentation and reality 😄 caused some confusion for my contact as he was wondering why the title information was always suppressed.
💡 Suggested change
For all SMS messenger modules, update the documentation pages and indicate that the title information is ignored.
Thanks

As an update to this, I can follow through, but in actual fact, the title isn't ignored, it's just prepended to the body. But perhaps this spedfic wording is what your asking be updated to all documents?
