MMS subject field character limit increase? - HTC Excalibur

Hello all,
I hoping some of you Windows Mobile 6.1 gurus can help me resolve a pesky issue that I have with MMS messages. I'm hoping there is a regedit or some other fix for this issue.
First of all, I'm running Kavana's 6.1 ROM and loving it. So big thanks to Kavana and all other contributors to this ROM.
The problem: When sending an MMS (picture) message, I am being limited to 40 characters maximum in the subject field. Why is this a problem? My #1 use of MMS messages is to send photos to TwitPic. It's a service that allows you to post pictures online from your phone, which also show up in your Twitter stream. A lot of the time, 40 characters just isn't enough to give a full description of the picture that I am posting (which is scraped from the subject field).
Does anyone know how to increase this 40 character limit in the MMS subject field? If so, please share! Any advice, tips, suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated! THANK YOU!

Use the READ feature, it works wonders too.
I am well aware of how to increase the MMS message size limit. This has no effect on the maximum character limitation of the SUBJECT field inside MMS messages. It is still stuck at 40 characters max, even though I can send MMS messages up to 300K in size.

oooooooohhhhh got shut down for a thread trying to tell someone to search lol..

Just accidentally googled to this - very old - thread ... but beeing very clever - the reason is in MMS design itself - phone is notified about incoming MMS by special binary push SMS, which tells the phone to download the MMS from MMSC. This binary SMS contains the subject just to inform the receiver about MMS details before downoading MMS itself. 40 chars is the limitation of this binary SMS ...

Palm Threaded App ripped from wm6 rom

and works better
http://rapidshare.com/files/45496605/shogunmark_wm6_threaded.cab
Would I sound like an idiot for asking what this is?
It gives you threaded sms like on the Palm Treos. So basically when you talk to someone it looks like a chat window like AIM or something, good stuff! I am downloading and installing now

that was really fast! I love this app - thanks!
My girlfriend and I installed it and we no longer have the left soft key that says SMS. How do we fix it?
I just installed it and there is one problem:
On my device there are like 1500 Messages and it's importing them in Groups of 10. After each group i have to restart to get the next 10.
Is there any way to import all SMS?

yeah, I had to remap the softkey too. I used SKTools to edit it.
@Shogunmark
Can you let us know what the differences are between this version and your last version of this app?
Any difference between this final and the beta?
Thanks
Marc
too sweet
i will be testing this on my trip tomorrow.
i gotta make more friend that text message, preferable of the female persuasion. =)
does this version still have problem of 'recbar.dll missing' when trying to record a sound?
yes, recbar.dll still missing... i forgot about that... but will work on that issue...
I took out the sms softkey cause it gets on my nerves i always have to remap that thing, i guess i could always make a quick cab to renable it...
the app still looks the same, but some things that have changed....
MMS send was boosted to 600k.
you can now send mp3's via mms.
if you have a message thread open and that person sends you a message it will now alert you.
thats about all that really comes to mind, im sure my testers that had this can come up with more...
nice. thanks you.
Checking it out now.
Great work.
Hopefully this works out good on the mogul.. im crossing my fingers lol. does it look similar to the palm threaded app?
So i'm guessing this is a upgrade. I had a problem with SMS thread when my phone all of a sudden stop receiving text because i guess some went into my old text format somehow and the others i don't know where they went. Any idea if that's been fixed?

it looks exactly the same, they didnt change the look of it, they just fixed some bugs in it...
Looks the same as the previous version. Unfortunately, the annoying 'soft keyboard overlapping the text entry area' problem still exists. I wonder if Palm will ever fix it ...
Thanks Shogunmark.

this is the actual palm threaded app, it replaces the sms inbox on your phone, and works very well... the messages get stored in a different file in their own format...
ON ANOTHER NOTE, A QUICK WARNING
IF YOU HAVE MESSAGES IN YOUR REGULAR SMS INBOX THESE WILL NOT BE CONVERTED OVER INTO THE THREADED APP.. I WOULD EVEN SUGGEST BACKING UP YOUR CURRENT SMS INBOX IN CASE YOU NEED TO REVERT BACK (ALSO SUGGEST DELETING ALL YOUR MESSAGES IN THE OEM SMS INBOX TO HELP ON STORAGE SPACE)

i wonder if the treo users have this problem...... i will get with one of them and see... maybe if they dont have issue then maybe we can fix it somehow!

200 points for this man!
This question was asked way back in June 07!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311030
It does give an explanation in the thread as to why you might not want to automatically download messages... basically you could suddenly find you are swamped with even more junk mails..

i am not even sure how to make sense of what was said in that thread. I dont see how allowing automatic download for html images in an email will increase spam to the mail account. at this point in the game, winmo is the only platform that doesnt allow html rendering by default. if this were true, then woulding everyone else who doesnt use a windows mobile device be flooded with spam?
Umm... pretty sure that my GMAIL account handles the SPAM ok.
I'm still going to look into this a bit more, but I have been super busy today.
As i understand what is said, spam senders send messages to accounts generated at random hoping some of them get to a proper account. The pictures that are in the email are encoded with email address it is sent to eg. [email protected] so that if you download that image the server knows that is a valid email address and is noted.. and spread for everyone else to send you a message...

Yes... that's exactly correct....except it goes to a server not an email address... basically the concept is that it notifies the sender that the email is legit, and adds them to the list of good email addresses to sell

like l3it3r said, my spam filter does a great job. can't tell you the last time i've seen spam come through my inbox. thats a none issue over here.
me either. It is a very rare occasion when I get spam in either my corporate or personal email.
if thats a problem we could atleast try to have an option to "trust this sender" or something to automatically download html pics from trusted sources
have added this thread to my subscriptions and will watch with interest
This is something that I have found annoying for a long time now that I can't just download the images in my emails by default. I really expected it to be an easy fix and that I would find an answer straight away along the lines of "...change this one line of the registry to '0' ... " so I was really surprised to see it was a much more complicated issue.
Anyway thanks in advance to anyone with the tech knowhow who is looking into this for us all
maybe its possible to make some script or something that presses automaticly "download pictures" when email opened... i have no idea how or if its possible but maybe someone can...
For Outlook on desktop computer this is possible on registry hack. On mobile outlook this registry key is not persist...?!
http://email.about.com/od/outlookexpressreading/qt/et_inline_off.htm
Maybe is possible on other location?
I'm looking for a solution to this as well. I would like the option to trust certain senders, at least. I can't believe Microsoft didn't trust us enough to give us an option for this. I would also like to have scrolling permanently enabled.
If you add the sender to your contacts, it will automatically download the images. This is the only way I have ever known to make this work, it would be great if someone figured it out, but until then this is the only work around I know.
i would like to have this function as well.. is great that my email mostly need image downloaded together.. when i got slow connection, i would like it to download all n internet picture together while it is idle. then once i got time i can faster read it all without further waiting for downloading.
thumbs up for this feature. at least have an option so that user can tweak themselves. no nid to argue about anything but juz let user make the choice accordingly.
DEFINITELY need to have this automatically download internet pictures AND turn on scrolling..... what's the point of having such a great screen and touch capabilities when the stupid email can't figure out how to show you pictures and let you scroll right?
HUGE oversight on Microsoft's part there - email should look as nice and classy as Opera does on my TP2!!!
UP !!!
I am still looking over this. Its really annoying and kills me. What a waste?

I'm sorry but any more info?
Used the search, only a few roms turned up?
The search function here is helpful, but not always perfect. Here's the app he mentioned, which I also recommend for it's usefulness even beyond what you're needing it for.
