Saving sms/text conversation

It would be very useful to be able to save a complete sms/text conversation as, for example, a note or text file able to be emailed. Using the 'phone in a 'professional' capacity, it is often necessary for me to audit communication and this is currently awkward if this includes a text "conversation".

Is there a 3rd party application that has this functionality? I will need to save my messages too. On the Nokia N900 I was able to write a Bash script that automatically saved my SMS conversation to a nicely formatted text file. I assume I'll be able to do something similar in SailfishOS.

How and where are the SMSs currently stored in SailfishOS? If it's an SQLite database it should be very possible to write a similar script.

Edit: Found something. Check this answer in this thread: https://together.jolla.com/question/26273/sms-ability-to-copy-store-them-to-an-excel-csv-file/

Not quite what the OP is after, I suspect, but it should help to write the above script.

I posted an answer in a wiki page here:

It requires using Terminal, but it works for my needs. :)
