Forward Mail to SMS is meant to work in conjunction with Microsoft Entourage. If you configure Entourage to use this script as detailed above, it will forward your new mail as an SMS to your cell phone so you'll never miss that important email again.
Forward Mail to SMS can easily be modified for other mail clients such as Mail.app.
When a message is forwarded using this method, it will remain in your Inbox marked as unread until you actually read it in Entourage. Other Rules you've created may conflict with this so please test your settings (enable the Rule and send a message to yourself).
This script requires GUI Scripting Beta (System Events 1.2 -- once you install this, make sure that "Enable access for assistive devices" is turned on in the Universal Access Preference pane).
The SMS won't have proper line endings (when the GUI scripting tries to type the line endings in the iChat window, iChat interprets this as a "Send Now" command). Instead, line endings will be delimited with " ** " (again, you can modify this in the script).
The SMS on my mobile system (T-Mobile) appears to be limited to 150 characters or so.
You may be charged an additional fee for receiving SMS on your phone, check with your carrier for more information.
