Hi. I'm glad you found the script useful. When writing it I gave no consideration to MMS messages (whether text or multimedia) simply because they're rather costly on my network and since no one I know really uses them either they weren't present in my database. I probably didn't make that clear enough in the documentation.
However, I'm happy to improve the script so that it handles MMS texts properly. Could you provide me with a (redacted, obviously) sample of SMS Backup and Restore's output for a conversation with multiple participants so I'm clear on what the correct behaviour should be? And am I correct in thinking that your first bullet point means that for these conversations convos.lookup_key
looks like ^first^^second^
and so on?
Hi, thanks for publishing this very useful script. I used it to convert a large (~15K messages) Textra database and noticed that in convos with 2+ participants, messages are not always attributed to the correct address, but to a single address per convo or a concatenated string of all participating addresses ("+1aaabbbcccc+1dddeeeffff").
I would suggest:
Let me know what you think - apologies for not just submitting a PR, I'm rusty in Python.
