Not enough space to install stuff after IR beam

I have this problem with lack of space on the phone.

I usually use IR to send apps like Mobipocket etc to the phone, and it ends up in the Messages - Inbox.

This obviously takes up space, and you need a similar amount of space to install the file.

I guess my question is how do i install something in my Message box with less than the amount of space i need?

Can I eg, use seleq to move the file from /message or /mss to /app?

Btw, this came up when I was trying to install Doom. having beamed all the files to the phone which took up 1.6mb or so, i didn't have enuff space left to install , which would have taken up another 1.6mb.

If you have an open PC Suite connection, you can just double-click on a .sis in Windows and it'll install the app
