Multi-part SMS messages get broken up unintuitively

[koshell]

Steps to reproduce

Receive a message too long to fit in a single SMS message.
Commonly SSO confirmations and other automated messages cause this issue for me.

Expected behavior

Messages get displayed as one single entry.

Actual behavior

Message appears to be split up into it's actual SMS parts.

For example if your message is over the 153 characters (my understanding is that is the max SMS size) then you get one message with the first 153 characters then a second message with the remaining characters.

This can, depending on the message, mean one SMS becomes two/three and makes it much harder to read some message. This also can trigger several notifications for a single message.

That's how the SMS standard got created 1984 with that limit and hasn't been changed since then. Since we're limited to that standard, there's no good way to combine messages apart from their time of recieval - which could cause additional issues.
Hence not planned.
