Question Backing up SMS/MMS into a text file?

Is there anyway I can easily backup or archive specific text/SMS/MMS messages into a text file without having to sync it to iTunes?

Or is there an app that can do this for you?

Thanks.

I heard there is an app that helps to make back up of sms in pc. I do not know the name of the app. If anyone know please let me know. My iphone text inbox is full now. I don't want to delete my gf's sms.

In OS 1.1.3 they up'ed the limit from 1000 to about 75k. I am unaware if this limit has been increased since.

Well, I have 3600(ish) so far and have only had my phone since July, and I'm just a moderate texter.
