Are you using "format=sms" ?  ie?

HOST=somehost
MAIL you at mobile.att.net format=sms

I use cingular/att and when using SMS format hobbit alerts I only get a 
subject and a single line of text, so I suspect you are getting the full 
normal alerts, which can be quite lengthy, especially for "proc"
