Signal has removed the SMS table from the database. In addition, the text of sent messages with attachments are no longer stored in the MMS table, making piecing together a backup more difficult (on purpose?). I have not yet located where the text of sent messages with attachments are stored.

Whew. They're storing the messages in MMS, it's just not linear. I'm working on a pull request for the 6.7.6 database format.

If you create a signal-6-7-6 branch based off of signal-6-5-6 branch I am ready to submit a pull request.

You can just grab my signal-6-7-6 branch and it should be ready to go.

I've created the PR from your branch: https://github.com/alexlance/signal-message-exporter/pull/19/files and I'm happy to merge it, but if you want to create the PR it's totally ok - like it means that there's less ambiguity about who did that work - credit where credit is due. I'm happy to delete my PR - or if I don't hear back I'll merge it tomorrow.

I'm not worried about the credit. Anyone who cares can check the history. I just want to make sure we have a way to get our messages out when Signal pulls the plug on SMS.

Alrighty! Merging it :)

Did some linting and resolved some conflicts with master. You should probably do a fresh checkout of master. Thanks for your help - they're moving quickly now!
