I'm not saying no.  It's just not top priority currently.  I'll see what
I can do. ;)

For me it's a compromise between a necessarily terse sms and the pain of
navigating the full xymon page on my mobile phone.  Typical use case is
that I get an sms alert and then pull up the app to see exactly what's
wrong.  I will probably configure my xymon server to include a link to
the app itself for convenience.

As a side note, I just pushed 0.1.8, which includes a fallback version
parser that fixes your problem.  The update should be to you shortly.
Once you can play with it, feel free to make a list of your top three
feature requests (in order) and send them to me.

Cheers,
Darrik
