seeing stuck messages before deletion

Hardware Librem 5
1

Still struggling to receive messages at times.

  1. the mmcli -m any --messaging-list-sms… commands plus the delete # work great, these are under the purism support list…
  2. two people have posted different codes for “seeing/reading” the message before deletion….
  3. Neither of them work for me, here is how I’ve written them down, can anyone verify that one works; and if there are any errors here:

sudo mmcli -m any --sms <sms_path_from_messaging-list-sms_command>

is the command here to actually type in a command, such as read? either way I tried both ways and the answer is “bash: syntax error near unexpected token “newline”…

sudo mmcli -s [##] --create-file-with-data=/path/to/the/output/file
this one was to read the data to a file–didn’t work

thanks so much….

Can you link to the post(s) or web page(s) that you are copying commands from?

NB: Shell commands should generally be enclosed in backquotes before posting to a Discourse forum otherwise the command will get “formatted” by Discourse and it may no longer be a good command to copy.
