SMS notifications should show more content and not stop at newline

The SMS notifications, both toaster and in events view, show only long content until (fitting) newline. This can trick you into thinking that you read the whole message reading the notification. If content is long but has no newline the toaster scrolls until whole message is displayed or the toaster times out and hides. For the events view the notification has a diaeresis hinting of more content. Both behaviors should be implemented for long content with newline.

For me the notification should ONLY show the sender, NO content. The content could be confidential, so i don't want to show it to everyone who is just looking at my phone. And I have to "read" it anyway (at least open it with closed eyes :-), because else it stays in status "unread" forever.

Sure, but if you're talking about when the phone is locked, there's a thread about that.

For when the phone is used, that's another view and I understand that some people don't want the contents to show even in the toaster or the events view, but I prefer it the way it is now - with the addition in my suggestion.
