Decomposition and delivery of message objects based on user instructions

A method of operating a message system, the method comprising:

• receiving a message object addressed to a user, wherein the message object comprises a plurality of short message service messages;
• storing a copy of the message object;
• processing the message object based on user decomposition instructions to generate a decomposed message object, wherein the user decomposition instructions direct the message system to generate the decomposed message object by consolidating the short message service messages into a single email message;
• selecting a delivery mechanism for the decomposed message object based on user delivery instructions;
• and
• transferring the decomposed message object for delivery to the user according to the delivery mechanism.

A computer apparatus comprising:

• software instructions configured, when executed by a computer system, to direct the computer system to receive a message object addressed to a user, wherein the message object comprises a plurality of short message service messages,
• store a copy of the message object, process the message object based on user decomposition instructions to generate a decomposed message object, wherein the user decomposition instructions direct the processing system to generate the decomposed message object by consolidating the short message service messages into a single email message, select a delivery mechanism for the decomposed message object based on user delivery instructions, and transfer the decomposed message object for delivery to the user according to the delivery mechanism;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing the software instructions.
