Imported from
rtcom-telepathy-glib, with the unused properties removed and the
documentation tidied up.
Objects implementing this interface must also implement:
Description
This interface contains SMS-specific properties for text channels.
This currently only includes whether the SMSes received on the channel
should be displayed immediately to the user, without prompting.
Handler filters
A handler for class 0 SMSes should advertise the following filter:
{ ...ChannelType:
...Text,
...TargetHandleType:
Handle_Type_Contact,
...SMS.Flash:
True,
}
It should also set its BypassApproval property
to True, so that it is invoked immediately for new
channels.
Properties
Accessed using the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface.

Flash — b
Read only
If True, then this channel is exclusively for
receiving class 0 SMSes (and no SMSes can be sent using SendMessage
on this channel). If False, no incoming class 0 SMSes
will appear on this channel.
This property is immutable (cannot change), and therefore SHOULD
appear wherever immutable properties are reported, e.g. NewChannels signals.
Rationale:
Class 0 SMSes should be displayed immediately to the user, and
need not be saved to the device memory unless the user explicitly
chooses to do so. This is unlike “normal”, class 1 SMSes, which
must be stored, but need not be shown immediately in their entirity
to the user.
Separating class 0 SMSes into their own channel with this
immutable property allows them to be dispatched to a different
Handler—which
would include this property in its HandlerChannelFilter—avoiding the normal Text
channel handler having to decide for each message whether it should
be displayed to the user immediately or handled normally.
Currently, no mechanism is defined for sending class 0
SMSes. It seems reasonable to support specifying the class of an
outgoing SMS in its header Message_Part, rather
than requiring the UI to request a special channel for such SMSes;
hence, we define here that channels with Flash set to
True are read-only.
