getting error when sending text to email

[mbwillie]

I get this error on my phone "messages with enhanced features cannot be sent to email". What is it talking about? These are simple word texts. I need to get them to my email for print copies.

If there is a special character, extended length, bold or such in the text it will send it as an EMS rather than an SMS.  An EMS cannot be sent to an email address.

Extended length is a msg over 160 characters in length.

You could also try the text select and copy/paste them into an email from your gmail account on the phone to the email address you are trying to email.

Edit:  Here is a quick copy/paste straight form the vtext.com website just for reference:

Q. What are the features available from Enhanced TXT Messaging?
A. In addition to the features of TXT Messaging, with a new EMS capable
handset you can enjoy the following additional features:


a.. Extended Message Length: An EMS capable handset will allow you to
compose an Enhanced TXT message over 1000 characters long.
b.. Text Formatting: Some EMS capable handsets will allow you to apply
text formatting to the message text such as Bold, Italics, and Underline in
your Enhanced TXT Message.
c.. International Characters: An EMS capable handset will allow you to use
foreign language characters such as 'ü', 'ñ', and 'é' in your Enhanced TXT
Message.
d.. Embedded Media Objects: Most EMS capable handsets include a menu of
sounds, graphics, and animated icons that you can insert into the body of
your Enhanced TXT Message. These embedded media objects are displayed
(sounds are played) when the message is opened on the receiving EMS capable
handset.
