So, you can generate an SMS message on your Cell phone and send it
to your, say, hotmail account?  Or are you talking about using
an embeded email client on the phone to create an email.  Not using
SMS at all?

This is easy.  Just put the <phonenum>@carrier.com address in the
definition of the voicemail box in voicemail.conf.

Though this is not the direction I have been talking about.
