The Devil's Advocate
well heres something i tried today as i was feeling the need to create a controversy 
...
1 can actually change the contents of the SMS msgs u receive in ur inbox
a few things to remember b4 i begin:
1. doing this can create a lot of trouble for the sender and reciepient and also ppl related to both
2. i tried this on my 6600 and this can b done on any s60 fone not sure abt n series or SE or moto u can try it and let me know
3. make a backup of the original content ur changing incase some error crops up
Wat u need:
1. a cellfone (s60 - 6600 in this case)
2. a memory card
3. msg to be editted shud be on the mmc
4. a card reader
5. a PC
6. hex edittor (hex workshop in this case)
Tutorial:
very simple put the mmc in the card reader connect it to the pc browse to the system folder (its hidden so make sure ur folder options on the pc are enabled to show hidden files)
in the system folder go to mail folder .... u might find a lot of folders here .... browse thru them till u find a folder which contains many folders named only in 1 digit or alphabet
u will see many files here
now this is the tough part finding the msg u want to edit (open the files in notepad and u will see the msg)
once u hav found out the msg u want to edit open it in notepad u will see the msg between some un-recognised characters
nw open the msg in the hex edittor in this case hex workshop the centre screen shows the hex equivalent and the right pane shows the same content u saw in the notepad that is the message ....
now is the fun part the hex workshop that i am using replaces the charcs in the message so if the message is- 'hello' and whn u take the cursor to 'h' and press 'm' it will become 'mello' so if u want change 'i hate u' to 'i love u' take the cursor to 'h' and type 'love' now 'hate' will be replaced with 'love' and if u want remove unwanted lines just replace them with 'space' now save it
and replace the existing file in the mmc same location same name .... voila msg has been editted same date same time same sender different msg
at times u might get an error while opening the msg on ur fone: my 6600 gav me: system error (-25) which i think means that u hav not correctly replaced the characs of the msg
this is my tutorial from start to end copied from no whr if u find a similar tut on the net it is co-incidental
