go to my faq.
search for the sms 160 fix.
it has a cab installer to install the registry edit,
and also the registry location for you to change this yourself aswell.

And or what rom(s) do that? It really bothers me that I can't tell where my sms's are getting split. Especially since the new outlook is the only reason I'm using 6.1 in the first place.

Thanks
I am using nfsfan.
It has all of those and more.
it's located at xda.
you can go to my faq thread mentioned above and there's a link to the rom's thread.
In a new message it shows it at the end of the message below a blue line.
In a continuing thread of messages it shows it in the title bar.

I believe it's 160.
That's what it was when I was at AT&T back in the day,
it is here at alltel,
and was told it's 160 at verizon also.
