Feature request: Strip Unicode

[slampisko]

Nice, plain and simple app, looking a bit dated but gets the job done, but I have a pet peeve.

In my language (Czech), lots of words use diacritics (letters ě, š, č, á, í etc.). Because the text is completely legible even if you use the non-augmented version of the letters in your message, and because the diacritics detracts from the number of characters you can send in one SMS, it's desirable to always write without diacritics. However, the majority of soft keyboards automatically "fix" your diacritics-less words. This is desirable in most cases, but not when writing texts, and it's annoying to keep fixing them back.

Most SMS apps have an option to strip Unicode characters before sending (some even do it smartly and only do it if it has an effect, i.e. if the message is longer than 70 characters) and leave only the GSM alphabet, but not SMSdroid, which is the only thing keeping me from using it full-time.

Thank you for considering this feature.
