We can surely do a better job here with notifications. It is in the back
burner to happen (store and forward).

For what its worth, and this is indeed no justification, but it behaves
like this on android too, if data is off your MMS gets lost unless the MMS
engine of the provider insists on an *M-NotifyResp.ind *being sent (this
can indicate immediate or deferred downloads, but requires having data).

A user level notification is also in order for when a
*M-Notification.ind *arrives
and data is off.
